Conjectural Bernoulli congruences for multiple harmonic sums of depths 8, 9, and 10
Conjectural Bernoulli congruences for multiple harmonic sums of depths 8, 9, and 10
Let and let be a prime with . For the multiple harmonic sums and Bernoulli numbers , the following congruences are conjectured:
Bernoulli congruences for , , and .
These formulas are conjectured for the values of and specified above. The conjecture extends the paper's established congruences for lower depths and reflects numerical evidence suggesting explicit Bernoulli-number expressions at these depths; its general validity remains unproved.
