چکیده

During his lifetime, Ramanujan provided many formulae relating binomial sums to special values of the Gamma function. Based on numerical computations, Van Hamme recently conjectured p-adic analogues to such formulae. Using a combination of ordinary and Gaussian hypergeometric series, we prove one of these conjectures. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000). Primary: 33C20; Secondary: 11S80.

A 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.

p-ADIC ARAKELOV THEORY

We introduce the p-adic analogue of Arakelov intersection theory on arithmetic surfaces. The intersection pairing in an extension of the p-adic height pairing for divisors of degree 0 in the form described by Coleman and Gross. It also uses Coleman integration and is related to work of Colmez on p-adic Green functions. We introduce the p-adic version of a metrized line bundle and define the met...

ON THE q-ANALOGUE OF TWO-VARIABLE p-ADIC L-FUNCTION

We construct the two-variable p-adic q-L-function which interpolates the generalized q-Bernoulli polynomials associated with primitive Dirichlet character χ. Indeed, this function is the q-extension of two-variable p-adic L-function due to Fox, corresponding to the case q = 1. Finally, we give some p-adic integral representation for this two-variable p-adic q-L-function and derive to q-extensio...

Ramanujan-type Supercongruences

We present several supercongruences that may be viewed as p-adic analogues of Ramanujan-type series for 1/π and 1/π 2 , and prove three of these examples.
