Using Watson's terminating $_8\phi_7$ transformation formula, we prove a family of $q$-congruences modulo the square of a cyclotomic polynomial, which were originally conjectured by the author and Zudilin [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 475 (2019),…
We provide several new $q$-congruences for truncated basic hypergeometric series, mostly of arbitrary order. Our results include congruences modulo the square or the cube of a cyclotomic polynomial, and in some instances, parametric…
Based on some combinatorial identities arising from symbolic summation, we extend two supercongruences on partial sums of hypergeometric series, which were originally conjectured by Guo and Schlosser and recently confirmed by Jana and…
By examining asymptotic behavior of certain infinite basic ($q$-) hypergeometric sums at roots of unity (that is, at a "$q$-microscopic" level) we prove polynomial congruences for their truncations. The latter reduce to non-trivial…
In this paper, we confirm the following conjecture of Guo and Schlosser: for any odd integer $n>1$ and $M=(n+1)/2$ or $n-1$, $$ \sum_{k=0}^{M}[4k-1]_{q^2}[4k-1]^2\frac{(q^{-2};q^4)_k^4}{(q^4;q^4)_k^4}q^{4k}\equiv…
From Carlitz's identity, we deduce two new $q$-supercongruences modulo the square of a cyclotomic polynomial, which were originally conjectured by Guo. These results establish new $q$-analogues of a supercongruence of Sun.
Recently, Ni and Pan proved a $q$-congruence on certain sums involving central $q$-binomial coefficients, which was conjectured by Guo. In this paper, we give a generalization of this $q$-congruence and confirm another $q$-congruence, also…
We give some new $q$-supercongruences on truncated forms of squares of basic hypergeometric series. Most of them are modulo the cube of a cyclotomic polynomial, and two of them are modulo the fourth power of a cyclotomic polynomial. The…
Guillera and Zudilin proved three "divergent" Ramanujan-type supercongruences by means of the Wilf-Zeilberger algorithmic technique. In this paper, we prove $q$-analogues of two of them via the $q$-WZ method. Additionally, we give…
We outline basic principles of a new method that gives a conceptual reasoning for and, at the same time, proofs of (super)congruences for truncated sums of arithmetic hypergeometric evaluations.
It is shown how Andrews' multidimensional extension of Watson's transformation between a very-well-poised $_8\phi_7$-series and a balanced $_4\phi_3$-series can be used to give a straightforward proof of a conjecture of Zudilin and the…
In 2021, the first author and Kalita obtained two general hypergeometric formulas for sums involving certain rising factorials to prove some supercongruence conjectures of Guo related to (B.2) and (C.2). In this paper, we further generalize…
In 2017, He [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 145 (2017), 501--508] established two spuercongruences on truncated hypergeometric series and further proposed two related conjectures. Subsequently, Liu [Results Math. 72 (2017), 2057--2066] extended…
We prove two positivity conjectures proposed by Guo for alternating sums and factorial ratios built from Gaussian coefficients. The first result proves the positivity of the odd $q$-super Catalan numbers \[…
Two $q$-supercongruences of truncated basic hypergeometric series containing two free parameters are established by employing specific identities for basic hypergeometric series. The results partly extend two $q$-supercongruences that were…
We adapt the theory of normal and special polynomials from symbolic integration to the summation setting, and then built up a general framework embracing both the usual shift case and the $q$-shift case. In the context of this general…
With the help of El Bachraoui's lemma, the creative microscoping method, and a new form of the Chinese remainder theorem for coprime polynomials, we prove a $q$-supercongruence for double series and a $q$-supercongruence for triple series…
We prove the divisibility conjecture on sums of even powers of $q$-binomial coefficients, which was recently proposed by Guo, Schlosser and Zudilin. Our proof relies on two $q$-harmonic series congruences due to Shi and Pan.
We develop an analytical method to prove congruences of the type $$ \sum_{k=0}^{(p^r-1)/d}A_kz^k \equiv \omega(z)\sum_{k=0}^{(p^{r-1}-1)/d}A_kz^{pk} \pmod{p^{mr}\mathbb Z_p[[z]]} \quad \text{for}\; r=1,2,\dots, $$ for primes $p>2$ and fixed…
