We give a generalization of $p$-adic congruences for truncated period functions, that were originally discovered for a class of hypergeometric functions by Bernard Dwork.

Using Dwork's theory, we prove a broad generalisation of his famous p-adic formal congruences theorem. This enables us to prove certain p-adic congruences for the generalized hypergeometric series with rational parameters; in particular,…

In the 1960s, Dwork developed a p-adic cohomology theory of de Rham type for varieties over finite fields, based on a trace formula for the action of a Frobenius operator on certain spaces of p-adic analytic functions. One can consider a…

We introduce new kind of $p$-adic hypergeometric functions. We show these functions satisfy congruence relations, so they are convergent functions. And we show that there is a transformation formula between our new $p$-adic hypergeometric…

We introduce new p-adic convergent functions, which we call the p-adic hypergeometric functions of logarithmic type. The first main result is to prove the congruence relations that are similar to Dwork's. The second main result is that the…

We prove that the constant terms of powers of a Laurent polynomial satisfy certain congruences modulo prime powers. As a corollary, the generating series of these numbers considered as a function of a p-adic variable satisfies a non-trivial…

In this paper, we give a transformation formula of Dwork's $p$-adic hypergeometric function between $t$ and $t^{-1}$. As an appendix, we introduce a finite analogue of this transformation formula, which implies the special case of the above…

Using an intrinsic $q$-hypergeometric strategy, we generalise Dwork-type congruences $H(p^{s+1})/H(p^s)\equiv H(p^s)/H(p^{s-1})\pmod{p^3}$ for $s=1,2,\dots$ and $p$ a prime, when $H(N)$ are truncated hypergeometric sums corresponding to the…

We describe the action of the Dwork-Frobenius operator on certain $A$-hypergeometric series. As a consequence, we obtain an integrality result for the coefficients of those series. This implies an integrality result for classical…

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 $d\ge2$.

We prove general Dwork-type congruences for Hasse--Witt matrices attached to tuples of Laurent polynomials. We apply this result to establishing arithmetic and $p$-adic analytic properties of functions originating from polynomial solutions…

We prove three more general supercongruences between truncated hypergeometric series and $p$-adic Gamma function from which some known supercongruences follow. A supercongruence conjectured by Rodriguez-Villegas and proved by E. Mortenson…

We give a congruence for L-functions coming from affine additive exponential sums over a finite field. Precisely, we give a congruence for certain operators coming from Dwork's theory. This congruence is very similar to the congruence of…

We study classical hypergeometric series as a p-adic function of its parameters inspired by a problem in the American Mathematical Monthly solved by D. Zagier. This is an extended abstract of a talk given at the workshop "Hypergeometric…

In his work studying the Zeta functions of families of hypersurfaces, Dwork came upon a one-parameter family of hypersurfaces (now known as \emph{the} Dwork family). These examples were not only useful to Dwork in his study of his…

For the purposes of this paper supercongruences are congruences between terminating hypergeometric series and quotients of $p$-adic Gamma functions that are stronger than those one can expect to prove using commutative formal group laws. We…

This is an expository paper which gives a quick introduction to Dwork's conjecture about p-adic meromorphic continuation of his unit root zeta function arising from algebraic geometry. Special emphasis is given to the case of elliptic…

We present new algorithms that efficiently approximate the hypergeometric function of a matrix argument through its expansion as a series of Jack functions. Our algorithms exploit the combinatorial properties of the Jack function, and have…

We present explicit descriptions of the decompositions of vertices of a hypercube graph with respect to its distinguished symmetric cycle.
