A q-supercongruence from Rahman's summation formula

Let nequiv1(mod4)n equiv 1\pmod{4} be a positive integer. Define the qq-integer [m]=(1qm)/(1q)[m]=(1-q^m)/(1-q), the qq-shifted factorial (a;q)k=j=0k1(1aqj)(a;q)_k=\prod_{j=0}^{k-1}(1-aq^j), and let Φn(q)\Phi_n(q) denote the nnth cyclotomic polynomial. The q-supercongruence conjecture.

k=0(n1)/2[6k+1](q;q4)k(q;q2)k3(q2;q2)k(q4;q4)k3qk2+kk=0(n1)/4[8k+1](q;q4)k4(q4;q4)k4q2k(mod[n]Φn(q)3),\sum_{k=0}^{(n-1)/2}[6 k+1] \frac{(q; q^{4})_{k}(q; q^{2})_{k}^{3}}{(q^{2}; q^{2})_{k}(q^{4}; q^{4})_{k}^{3}} q^{k^{2}+k} \equiv \sum_{k=0}^{(n-1)/4}[8k+1] \frac{(q; q^{4})_{k}^4}{(q^4; q^{4})_k^4}q^{2k}\pmod{[n] \Phi_{n}(q)^{3}},

and

k=0n1[6k+1](q;q4)k(q;q2)k3(q2;q2)k(q4;q4)k3qk2+kk=0n1[8k+1](q;q4)k4(q4;q4)k4q2k(mod[n]Φn(q)4).\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}[6 k+1] \frac{(q; q^{4})_{k}(q; q^{2})_{k}^{3}}{(q^{2}; q^{2})_{k}(q^{4}; q^{4})_{k}^{3}} q^{k^{2}+k} \equiv \sum_{k=0}^{n-1}[8k+1] \frac{(q; q^{4})_{k}^4}{(q^4; q^{4})_k^4}q^{2k}\pmod{[n] \Phi_{n}(q)^{4}}.

These strengthen the preceding q-congruences and are motivated by Rahman's summation formula; their validity remains open in the source.
