Supercongruences for Apery-like numbers

Robert Osburn, Brundaban Sahu

Published 2009-06-18, updated 2011-01-12Version 3

It is known that the numbers which occur in Apery's proof of the irrationality of zeta(2) have many interesting congruence properties while the associated generating function satisfies a second order differential equation. We prove supercongruences for a generalization of numbers which arise in Beukers' and Zagier's study of integral solutions of Apery-like differential equations.
