    Congruences concerning Legendre polynomials

    Full text link
    Let pp be an odd prime. In the paper, by using the properties of Legendre polynomials we prove some congruences for βˆ‘k=0pβˆ’12(2kk)2mβˆ’kmod  p2\sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-1}2}\binom{2k}k^2m^{-k}\mod {p^2}. In particular, we confirm several conjectures of Z.W. Sun. We also pose 13 conjectures on supercongruences.Comment: 16 page
