    We determine the explicit formulas for the sum of products of homogeneous multiple harmonic sums βˆ‘k=1n∏j=1rHk({1}Ξ»j)\sum_{k=1}^n \prod_{j=1}^r H_k(\{1\}^{\lambda_j}) when βˆ‘j=1rΞ»j≀5\sum_{j=1}^r \lambda_j\leq 5. We apply these identities to the study of two congruences modulo a power of a prime

    The purpose of this note is to obtain some congruences modulo a power of a prime pp involving the truncated hypergeometric series βˆ‘k=1pβˆ’1(x)k(1βˆ’x)k(1)k2β‹…1ka\sum_{k=1}^{p-1} {(x)_k(1-x)_k\over (1)_k^2}\cdot{1\over k^a} for a=1a=1 and a=2a=2. In the last section, the special case x=1/2x=1/2 is considered.Comment: Revised versio

    Wolstenholme and Morley, Primes and Pseudoprimes

    Full text link
    In this note, we prove p2p^2 is a Morley pseudoprime (of order 2) iff p2p^2 is a Wolstenholme pseudoprime (of order 2) iff pp is a Wolstenholme prime iff pp is a Morley prime. Concerning pseudoprimes of order 1 that are not powers of primes, only 3 are known of Wolstenholme's type and absolutely none have yet been identified of Morley's type
