A Supercongruence for Generalized Domb Numbers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using techniques due to Coster, we prove a supercongruence for a generalization of the Domb numbers. This extends a recent result of Chan, Cooper and Sica and confirms a conjectural supercongruence for numbers which are coefficients in one of Zagier’s seven “sporadic” solutions to second order Apéry-like differential equations.

On a Supercongruence Conjecture of Rodriguez-villegas
In examining the relationship between the number of points over Fp on certain Calabi-Yau manifolds and hypergeometric series which correspond to a particular period of the manifold, Rodriguez-Villegas identified numerically 22 possible supercongruences. We prove one of the outstanding supercongruence conjectures between a special value of a truncated generalized hypergeometric series and the p-...
متن کاملMulticanonical simulation of the Domb-Joyce model and the Go model: new enumeration methods for self-avoiding walks
We develop statistical enumeration methods for self-avoiding walks using a powerful sampling technique called the multicanonical Monte Carlo method. Using these methods, we estimate the numbers of the two dimensional N-step self-avoiding walks up to N = 256 with statistical errors. The developed methods are based on statistical mechanical models of paths which include self-avoiding walks. The c...
متن کاملOn the (k.2) Supercongruence of Van Hamme
We prove the last remaining case of the original 13 Ramanujan-type supercongruence conjectures due to Van Hamme from 1997. The proof utilizes classical congruences and a WZ pair due to Guillera. Additionally, we mention some future directions concerning this type of supercongruence.
متن کاملA Gaussian Hypergeometric Series Evaluation and Apéry Number Congruences
If p is prime, then let φp denote the Legendre symbol modulo p and let p be the trivial character modulo p. As usual, let n+1Fn(x)p := n+1Fn „ φp, φp, . . . , φp p, . . . , p | x « p be the Gaussian hypergeometric series over Fp. For n > 2 the non-trivial values of n+1Fn(x)p have been difficult to obtain. Here we take the first step by obtaining a simple formula for 4F3(1)p. As a corollary we o...
متن کاملA p-ADIC SUPERCONGRUENCE CONJECTURE OF VAN HAMME
In this paper we prove a p-adic supercongruence conjecture of van Hamme by placing it in the context of the Beukers-like supercongruences of Rodriguez-Villegas. This conjecture is a p-adic analog of a formula of Ramanujan.
