Let $m$ and $n>0$ be integers. Suppose that $p$ is a prime dividing $m-4$ but not dividing $m$. We show that $\nu_p(\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{\binom{2k}k}{m^k})$ and $\nu_p(\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\binom{n-1}{k}(-1)^k\frac{\binom{2k}k}{m^k})$ are at…

Let $H_n^{(2)}$ denote the second-order harmonic number $\sum_{0<k\le n}1/k^2$ for $n=0,1,2,\ldots$. In this paper we obtain the following identity: $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{2^kH_{k-1}^{(2)}}{k\binom{2k}k}=\frac{\pi^3}{48}.$$ We explain how…

We give a short proof of the following known congruence: for every odd prime $p$ $$\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}{2k\choose k}^2 16^{-k}\equiv (-1)^{{p-1\over 2}}\pmod{p^2}.$$ Moreover, we provide some new results connected with the above congruence.

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…

In this note, we propose simple summations for primes, which involve two finite nested sums and Bernoulli numbers. The summations can also be expressed in terms of Bernoulli polynomials.

Via symbolic summation method, we establish the following series for $\pi^2$: \begin{align*} \sum_{k=1}^\infty \frac{H_k-2H_{2k}}{(-3)^k k} = \frac{\pi^2}{18}, \end{align*} where $H_k=\sum_{j=1}^k 1/j$. We also derive a $p$-adic congruence…
