A cubic q-supercongruence with (q;q2)k(q;q^2)_k factors

At least 2 years old · documented by

Let mm and nn be positive integers with nn odd, and let (a;q)k(a;q)_k denote the q-shifted factorial. The cubic q-supercongruence conjecture.

∑k=0mn−1(−1)k[3k+1](q;q2)k3(q;q)k3≡(−1)(n−1)/2q(n−1)2/4[n]∑k=0m−1(−1)k(3k+1)8k(12)k3k!3  (mod⁡Φn(q)2).\sum_{k=0}^{mn-1}(-1)^k[3k+1]\frac{(q;q^2)_k^3}{(q;q)_k^3} \equiv (-1)^{(n-1)/2}q^{(n-1)^2/4}[n]\sum_{k=0}^{m-1}(-1)^k(3k+1)\frac{8^k(\frac12)_k^3}{k!^3}\;\allowbreak(\operatorname{mod}\Phi_n(q)^2).

The source records this as another simplified version of an earlier conjecture; no resolution is supplied.
