Proof of a conjectural supercongruence

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

Let m>2m>2 and q>0q>0 be integers with mm even or qq odd. We show the supercongruence ∑k=0p−1(−1)km(p/m−qk)m≡0(modp3).\sum_{k=0}^{p-1}(-1)^{km}\binom{p/m-q}{k}^m\equiv0\pmod{p^3}. for any prime p>mqp>mq. This confirms a conjecture of Sun.
