Congruences for sporadic sequences and modular forms for non-congruence subgroups (1901.03098v1)

Published 10 Jan 2019 in math.NT

Abstract: In the course of the proof of the irrationality of zeta(2) R. Apery introduced numbers b_n = \sum_{k=0}n {n \choose k}2{n+k \choose k}. Stienstra and Beukers showed that for the prime p > 3 Apery numbers satisfy congruence b((p-1)/2) = 4a2-2p mod p, if p = a2+b2 (where a is odd). Later, Zagier found some generalizations of Apery numbers, so called sporadic sequences, and recently Osburn and Straub proved similar congruences for all but one of the six Zagier's sporadic sequences (three cases were already known to be true) and conjectured the congruence for the sixth sequence. In this paper we prove that remaining congruence by studying Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer congruences between Fourier coefficients of certain cusp form for non-congurence subgroup.
