Let $p$ be prime, $N$ be a positive integer prime to $p$, and $k$ be an integer. Let $P_k(t)$ be the characteristic series for Atkin's $U$ operator as an endomorphism of $p$-adic overconvergent modular forms of tame level $N$ and weight…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $q=p^r$, $r\geq 1$. For positive integers $n$, let ${_n}G_n[\cdots]_q$ denote McCarthy's $p$-adic hypergeometric functions. In this article, we prove an identity expressing a ${_4}G_4[\cdots]_q$ hypergeometric…

Summation of a large class of the functional series, which terms contain factorials, is considered. We first investigated finite partial sums for integer arguments. These sums have the same values in real and all p-adic cases. The…

Recently, Feng, Kuznetsov and Yang discovered a very general reduction formula for a sum of products of the generalized hypergeometric functions (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 443(2016), 116--122). The main goal of this note is to present a…

We consider summation of some finite and infinite functional p-adic series with factorials. In particular, we are interested in the infinite series which are convergent for all primes p, and have the same integer value for an integer…

We define and study a $p$-adic analogue of the incomplete gamma function related to Morita's $p$-adic gamma function. We also discuss a combinatorial identity related to the Artin-Hasse series, which is a special case of the exponential…

We introduce a new type of $p$-adic hypergeometric functions, which are generalizations of $p$-adic hypergeometric functions of logarithmic type defined by Asakura, and show that these functions satisfy the congruence relations similar to…

Infinite series are evaluated through the manipulation of a series for $\cos(2t \sin^{-1}x)$ resulting from Clausen's Product. Hypergeometric series equal to an expression involving $\frac{1} {\pi}$ are determined. Techniques to evaluate…

We describe some new general constructions of $p$-adic $L$-functions attached to certain arithmetically defined complex $L$-functions coming from motives over $\bold Q$ with coefficiens in a number field $T$, with $[T:\bold Q]<\infty$.…

The partial sums of two quartic basic hypergeometric series are investigated by means of the modified Abel lemma on summation by parts. Several summation and transformation formulae are consequently established.

Using an identity due to Gessel and Stanton and some properties of the $p$-adic Gamma function, we establish a $p$-adic supercongruence for truncated hypergeometric series ${}_7F_6$. From it we deduce some related supercongruences, which…

We derive two generalizations of Gasper's transformation formula for basic hypergeometric series. Using these generalized formulas, we give explicit expressions for the coefficients of three-term relations for the basic hypergeometric…

We discuss algorithms for arithmetic properties of hypergeometric functions. Most notably, we are able to compute the p-adic valuation of a hypergeometric function on any disk of radius smaller than the p-adic radius of convergence. This we…

This paper introduces a $p$-adic analogue of Gauss's hypergeometric function, constructed via a method that is distinct from distinct from Dwork's approach. The idea of our construction is motivated by the Ohno-Zagier formula, which is…

Several new $q$-supercongruences are obtained using transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series, together with various techniques such as suitably combining terms, and creative microscoping, a method recently developed by the…

We give a method to embed the q-series in a (p,q)-series and derive the corresponding (p,q)-extensions of the known q-identities. The (p,q)-hypergeometric series, or twin-basic hypergeometric series (diferent from the usual bibasic…

A product of two hypergeometric series is generally not hypergeometric. However, there are a few cases when such product does reduce to a single hypergeometric series. The oldest result of this type, beyond the obvious…

We relate non-critical special values $p$-adic $L$-functions associated to algebraic Hecke characters of an imaginary quadratic number field with class number one to $p$-adic Coleman function called the $p$-adic Eisenstein-Kronecker series,…

We establish some supercongruences for the truncated ${}_2F_1$ and ${}_3F_2$ hypergeometric series involving the $p$-adic Gamma functions. Some of these results extend the four Rodriguez-Villegas supercongruences on the truncated ${}_3F_2$…

We construct $p$-adic $L$-functions interpolating critical $L$-values of algebraic Hecke characters for arbitrary unramified primes $p$ and any totally imaginary field. For non-ordinary primes, the only previously known case was that of…
