Some congruences related to the q-Fermat quotients (1312.6541v1)
Published 23 Dec 2013 in math.NT and math.CO
Abstract: We give q-analogues of the following congruences by Z.-W. Sun: \sum_{k=1}{p-1}\frac{D_k}{k} \equiv -\frac{2{p-1}-1}{p} \pmod p,\ \sum_{k=1}{p-1}\frac{H_k}{k 2k}\equiv 0 \pmod{p},\quad p\geqslant 5, where p is a prime, D_n=\sum_{k=0}{n}{n+k\choose 2k}{2k\choose k} are the Delannoy numbers, and H_n=\sum_{k=1}n\frac{1}{k} are the harmonic numbers. We also prove that, for any positive integer m and prime p>m+1, \sum_{1\leqslant k_1\leqslant \cdots \leqslant k_m\leqslant p-1}\frac{1}{k_1\cdots k_m 2{k_m}} \equiv\frac{1}{2}\sum_{k=1}{p-1}\frac{(-1){k-1}}{km} \pmod p, which is a multiple generalization of Kohnen's congruence. Furthermore, a q-analogue of this congruence is established.
