Sun's integrality conjectures for central-binomial sums

About 13 years old · traced to

Let SkS_k and Sk(2)S_k^{(2)} be the sequences defined by the corresponding central-binomial sums in the source. Sun's integrality conjectures. For every positive integer nn, one has

4n2∑k=0n−1kSk∈Z,1n2∑k=0n−1Sk(2)∈Z.\frac{4}{n^2}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}kS_k\in\mathbb{Z},\qquad \frac{1}{n^2}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}S_k^{(2)}\in\mathbb{Z}.

These conjectures of Z.-W. Sun are included among the congruences proved in the paper, so they are resolved.
