Abstract
This paper establishes an extension of Wolstenholme's theorem to the ring of Gaussian integers . For a prime , we prove that the sum of inverses of Gaussian integers in the set satisfies the congruence . We further generalize this result to higher-power sums , demonstrating structured divisibility patterns modulo powers of . We propose some conjectures generalising the connections between classical Wolstenholme's theorem and binomial coefficients. Special cases and irregularities for small primes () are explicitly computed and tabulated.
