In a previous work (arXiv:2505.05574), a summation formula for harmonic Maass forms of polynomial growth was established. In this note, we use the theory of $L$-series of harmonic Maass forms to state and prove a summation formula for such…

For a positive integer $n$ let $H_n=\sum_{k=1}^{n}1/k$ be the $n$th harmonic number. In this note we prove that for any prime $p\ge 7$, $$ \sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{H_k^2}{k^2} \equiv4/5pB_{p-5}\pmod{p^2}, $$ which confirms the conjecture…
