Crucial ingredients in our proof are George Andrews' multiseries extension of the Watson transformation, and a Karlsson--Minton type summation for very-well-poised basic hypergeometric series due to George Gasper. The new family of $q$-congruences is then used to prove two conjectures posed earlier by the authors.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-09-23T11:23:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33D15", "11A07", "11B65" ], "keywords": [ "hypergeometric congruences modulo", "fourth power", "cyclotomic polynomial", "karlsson-minton type summation", "very-well-poised basic hypergeometric series" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
