Guillera–Zudilin-type supercongruence for a fifth-power hypergeometric sum

About 7 years old · traced to

Let pp be an odd prime, let rr be a positive integer, and let δ∈{1,2}\delta\in\{1,2\}. Guillera–Zudilin-type conjecture.

∑n=0(pr−1)/δ(12)n5n!5(10n2+6n+1)(−4)n≡p2r(modp2r+3).\sum_{n=0}^{(p^r-1)/\delta}\frac{\left(\frac12\right)^5_n}{n!^5}(10n^2+6n+1)(-4)^n\equiv p^{2r}\pmod{p^{2r+3}}.

The paper states that this stronger modulus cannot be proved by its method; the surrounding theorem establishes a weaker, piecewise congruence modulo pr+4p^{r+4}.
