Abstract
In this paper, by constructing some identities, we prove some -analogues of some congruences. For example, for any odd integer , we show that \begin{gather*} \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \frac{(q^{-1};q^2)_k}{(q;q)_k} q^k \equiv (-1)^{(n+1)/2} q^{(n^2-1)/4} - (1+q)[n] \pmod{\Phi_n(q)^2},\\ \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{(q^3;q^2)_k}{(q;q)_k} q^k \equiv (-1)^{(n+1)/2} q^{(n^2-9)/4} + \frac{1+q}{q^2}[n]\pmod{\Phi_n(q)^2}, \end{gather*} where the -Pochhanmmer symbol is defined by and for , the -integer is defined by and is the -th cyclotomic polynomial. The -congruences above confirm some recent conjectures of Gu and Guo.
