Liu's mod-p5p^5 truncated hypergeometric supercongruence

Let p5p\geq5 be a prime with p3(mod4)p\equiv3\pmod{4}, and let Γp\Gamma_p denote the pp-adic Gamma function. Liu's conjecture.

6F5[541212121212141111 1]p12p316Γp(14)4(modp5).{}_6F_5\bigg[\begin{matrix}\frac{5}{4}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}\\&\frac{1}{4}&1&1&1&1\end{matrix}\bigg|\ -1\bigg]_{\frac{p-1}{2}}\equiv-\frac{p^3}{16}\Gamma_p\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^4\pmod{p^5}.

The paper's abstract identifies this as a congruence conjectured by J.-C. Liu, and the paper proves it.
