We produce congruences modulo a prime p > 3 for sums ∑k (3kk) xk over ranges 0 ≤ k < q and 0 ≤ k < q/3, where q is a power of p. Here x equals either c2/(1 - c) 3, or 4s2/(27(s2 - 1)), where c and s are indeterminates. In the former case, we deal more generally with shifted binomial coefficients 3k+ek. Our method derives such congruences directly from closed forms for the corresponding series.

Abstract
We produce congruences modulo a prime p > 3 for sums ∑k (3kk) xk over ranges 0 ≤ k < q and 0 ≤ k < q/3, where q is a power of p. Here x equals either c2/(1 - c) 3, or 4s2/(27(s2 - 1)), where c and s are indeterminates. In the former case, we deal more generally with shifted binomial coefficients 3k+ek. Our method derives such congruences directly from closed forms for the corresponding series.File in questo prodotto:
