Rosen's lifting conjecture for multiple harmonic sums

About 6 years old · traced to

Let kk be a positive integer and let p1p_1 be a prime greater than k+1k+1. For each index k\boldsymbol{k}, let Hp−1(k)H_{p-1}(\boldsymbol{k}) be the multiple harmonic sum, and let ckc_{\boldsymbol{k}} be a finite set of rational coefficients indexed by indices of weight kk. Suppose

∑wt⁡(k)=kckHp−1(k)≡0(modp)\sum_{\operatorname{wt}(\boldsymbol{k})=k}c_{\boldsymbol{k}}H_{p-1}(\boldsymbol{k})\equiv0\pmod p

for all primes p≥p1p\ge p_1. Rosen's lifting conjecture. For each n≥2n\ge2, there exists a prime pnp_n and a finite set of rational numbers ck(l)c_{\boldsymbol{k}}^{(l)}, indexed by 1≤l≤n−11\le l\le n-1 and indices of weight k+lk+l, such that pn≥pn−1p_n\ge p_{n-1} and

∑wt⁡(k)=kckHp−1(k)+∑l=1n−1pl∑wt⁡(k)=k+lck(l)Hp−1(k)≡0(modpn)\sum_{\operatorname{wt}(\boldsymbol{k})=k}c_{\boldsymbol{k}}H_{p-1}(\boldsymbol{k})+\sum_{l=1}^{n-1}p^l\sum_{\operatorname{wt}(\boldsymbol{k})=k+l}c_{\boldsymbol{k}}^{(l)}H_{p-1}(\boldsymbol{k})\equiv0\pmod {p^n}

for all primes p≥pnp\ge p_n. This is a lifting principle: a congruence modulo pp should admit coefficient corrections that lift it to every higher power of pp. The supplied text presents it as a version of Rosen's lifting conjecture and gives no resolution status.
