A modulo p5p^5 extension of van Hamme's (A.2) supercongruence

Let p5p\geq 5 be a prime satisfying p3(mod4)p\equiv 3\pmod{4}, and let Γp\Gamma_p denote the pp-adic Gamma function. A modulo p5p^5 extension of van Hamme's (A.2) supercongruence.

k=0p12(1)k(4k+1)((12)kk!)5p316Γp(14)4(modp5).\sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-1}{2}}(-1)^k(4k+1)\left(\frac{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)_k}{k!}\right)^5\equiv -\frac{p^3}{16}\Gamma_p\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^4\pmod{p^5}.

This is presented as a numerical conjecture that partially motivates the paper, extending the known congruence in the case p3(mod4)p\equiv 3\pmod{4} from modulus p3p^3 to modulus p5p^5.
