One variant of the $q$-Catalan polynomials is defined in terms of Gaussian polynomials by $\mathcal{C}_k(q)=\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{2k}{k}_q-q\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{2k}{k+1}_q$. Liu studied congruences of the form $\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}…
In 1987, Andrews and Baxter introduced six kinds of $q$-trinomial coefficients in exploring the solution of a model in statistical mechanics. In this paper, we give some $q$-supercongruences for the truncated forms of these polynomials.
In the recent article arXiv:1606.03351, Apagodu and Zeilberger discuss some applications of an algorithm for finding and proving congruence identities (modulo primes) of indefinite sums of many combinatorial sequence. At the end they…
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…
Several years ago, Long and Ramakrishna [Adv. Math. 290 (2016), 773--808] extended Van Hamme's (H.2) supercongruence to the modulus $p^3$ case. Recently, Guo [Int. J. Number Theory, to appear] found a $q$-analogue of the Long--Ramakrishna…
We show some new Wolstenholme type $q$-congruences for some classes of multiple $q$-harmonic sums of arbitrary depth with strings of indices composed of ones, twos and threes. Most of these results are $q$-extensions of the corresponding…
Applying the $q$-Zeilberger algorithm, we establish a unified $q$-analogue of the (C.2) and (G.2) supercongruences of Van Hamme, which can be viewed as a refinement of several previously known results. As consequences, we obtain a…
Recently, Drema and Saikia (2023) proved several congruences modulo powers of 2 and 3 for overpartition triples with odd parts. We extend their list substantially. We prove several congruences modulo powers of 2 for overpartition k-tuples…
Motivated by the recent research of congruences and $q$-congruences, we provide two different $q$-analogues of the (G.2) supercongruence of Van Hamme through the `creative microscoping' method, which was devised by Guo and Zudilin. It is a…
A sequence of rational functions in a variable $q$ is $q$-holonomic if it satisfies a linear recursion with coefficients polynomials in $q$ and $q^n$. We prove that the degree of a $q$-holonomic sequence is eventually a quadratic…
In 1997, Van Hamme proposed 13 supercongruences on truncated hypergeometric series. Van Hamme's (B.2) supercongruence was first confirmed by Mortenson and received a WZ proof by Zudilin later. In 2012, using the WZ method again, Sun…
There are many instances known when the Fourier coefficients of modular forms are congruent to partial sums of hypergeometric series. In our previous work arXiv:1803.01830, such partial sums are related to the radial asymptotics of infinite…
This paper presents a new formula for the q-shift operator, building on the techniques by Liu and Sears. This formula provides fresh proof of the Carlitz formula and extends it naturally. As applications, we derive an equivalent form of the…
Let $\Phi_n^{(k)}(x)$ be the $k$-th derivative of $n$-th cyclotomic polynomial. Extending a work of D.~H.~Lehmer, we show some curious congruences: $2\Phi^{(3)}_n(1)$ is divisible by $\phi(n)-2$ and $\Phi^{(2k+1)}_n(1)$ is divisible by…
We present alternative, q-hypergeometric proofs of some polynomial analogues of classical q-series identities recently discovered by Alladi and Berkovich, and Berkovich and Garvan.
Recently, Chan, Cooper and Sica conjectured two congruences for coefficients of classical 2F1 hypergeometric series which also arise from power series expansions of modular forms in terms of modular functions. We prove these two congruences…
In 1997, Van Hamme conjectured 13 Ramanujan-type supercongruences. All of the 13 supercongruences have been confirmed by using a wide range of methods. In 2015, Swisher conjectured Dwork-type supercongruences related to the first 12…
We prove that the ideal used in recent works to categorify the cyclotomic integers is generated by a cyclotomic polynomial. Moreover, we publish a proof by T. Ekedahl that the $q$-binomial relations used in the tensor product of…
We establish two binomial coefficient--generalized harmonic sum identities using the partial fraction decomposition method. These identities are a key ingredient in the proofs of numerous supercongruences. In particular, in other works of…
We give a proof of two identities involving binomial sums at infinity conjectured by Z-W Sun. In order to prove these identities, we use a recently presented method i.e. we view the series as specializations of generating series and derive…
