Congruences concerning Legendre polynomials. II (Q1946713)

Let \(p>3\) be a prime, and let \(m\) be an integer with \(p\nmid m\). In this paper the author solves some conjectures of Z. W. Sun concerning \[ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}{2k\choose k}^3/m^k\pmod{p^2},\qquad \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}{2k\choose k}{4k\choose 2k}/m^k\pmod{p^2} \] and \[ \sum_{k=0}^{p-1}{2k\choose k}^2{4k\choose 2k}/m^k\pmod{p^2}. \] In particular, the author shows that \(\sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-1}{2}}{2k\choose k}^3\equiv 0\pmod{p^2}\) for \(p\equiv 3, 5, 6\pmod 7\). The author also showed some congruences of Legendre polynomials modulo \(p\) and confirmed many conjectures of Z. W. Sun. Part I, see Proc. Am. Math.
