Let $q=p^{e}$ be a prime power, $\ell$ be a prime number different from $p$, and $n$ be a positive integer divisible by neither $p$ nor $\ell$. In this paper we define the $\ell$-adic $q$-cyclotomic system $\mathcal{PC}(\ell,q,n)$ with base…
This article considers the eta power $\prod {(1-q^k)}^{b-1}$. It is proved that the coefficients of $\frac{q^n}{n!}$ in this expression, as polynomials in $b$, exhibit equidistribution of the coefficients in the nonzero residue classes mod…
A sufficient condition for the convergence of a generalized formal power series solution to an algebraic $q$-difference equation is provided. The main result leans on a geometric property related to the semi-group of (complex) power…
We define a new congruence relation on the set of integers, leading to a group similar to the multiplicative group of integers modulo $n$. It makes use of a symmetry almost omnipresent in modular multiplications and halves the number of…
We prove supercongruences modulo $p^2$ for values of truncated hypergeometric series at some special points. The parameters of the hypergeometric series are $d$ copies of $1/2$ and $d$ copies of $1$ for any integer $d\ge2$.
In a recent paper, we proved that for any large enough odd modulus $q\in \mathbb{N}$ and fixed $\alpha_2\in \mathbb{N}$ coprime to $q$, the congruence \[ x_1^2+\alpha_2x_2^2+\alpha_3x_3^2\equiv 0 \bmod{q} \] has a solution of…
A supercongruence is a congruence between rational numbers modulo a power of a prime. In this paper, we give a technique for finding and algorithmically proving supercongruences by expressing terms as infinite series involving certain…
Let $\overline{p}_{k}(n)$ denote the number of overpartition $k$-tuples of $n$. In 2023, Saikia \cite{saikia} conjectured the following congruences: \begin{align*} \overline{p}_{q}(8n+2)& \equiv 0 \pmod{4},\quad \overline{p}_{q}(8n+3)\equiv…
We prove two congruences for the coefficients of power series expansions in t of modular forms where t is a modular function. As a result, we settle two recent conjectures of Chan, Cooper and Sica. Additionally, we provide a table of…
We address a question posed by Ono, prove a general result for powers of an arbitrary prime, and provide an explanation for the appearance of higher congruence moduli for certain small primes. One of our results coincides with a recent…
Traditional algebraic geometric invariants lose some of their potency in positive characteristic. For instance, smooth projective hypersurfaces may be covered by lines despite being of arbitrarily high degree. The purpose of this…
We mainly show a supercongruence for a truncated series with cubes of Catalan numbers which extends a result by Zhi-Wei Sun.
The notion of strong Frobenius structure is classically studied in the theory of $p$-adic differential operators. In the present work, we introduce a new definition of the notion of strong Frobenius structure for $q$-difference operators.…
In this paper, we mainly prove the following congruence conjectured by J.-C. Liu: $$ {}_6F_5\bigg[\begin{matrix}\frac{5}{4}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}\\&\frac{1}{4}&1&1&1&1\end{matrix}\bigg|\…
We prove some Rodriguez-Villegas type congruences for truncated q-hypergeometric functions.
We establish a congruence on sums of central $q$-binomial coefficients. From this $q$-congruence, we derive the divisibility of the $q$-trinomial coefficients introduced by Andrews and Baxter.
In this short note, we prove several new congruences for the overcubic partition triples function, using both elementary techniques and the theory of modular forms. These extend the recent list of such congruences given by Nayaka,…
Fix m >= 1 and let E be an elliptic curve over Q with complex multiplication. We formulate conjectures on the density of primes p (congruent to one modulo m) for which the pth Fourier coefficient of E is an mth power modulo p; often these…
In this paper, by constructing some identities, we prove some $q$-analogues of some congruences. For example, for any odd integer $n>1$, we show that \begin{gather*} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{(q^{-1};q^2)_k}{(q;q)_k} q^k \equiv (-1)^{(n+1)/2}…
