A congruence concerning a convolution involving weighted Bernoulli numbers

Abstract

Given a prime p5p\geq 5, we reduce modulo p a convolution of order p-1 of powers of two weighted Bernoulli numbers with Bernoulli numbers in terms of harmonic numbers and generalized harmonic numbers. Our proof is based on studying the p-adic expansion of the number of permutations of Sym(p-2) with an even number of ascents, up to the modulus p2p^2.
