Abstract: Let p>3 be a prime, and let Rp be the set of rational numbers whose denominator is coprime to p. Let Pn(x) be the Legendre polynomials. In this paper we mainly show that for m,n,tinRp with mote0pmodp, align &P_{[frac p6]}(t) e -Big(frac 3pBig)sum_{x=0}^{p-1}Big(frac{x^3-3x+2t}pBig)pmod p, &Big(sum_{x=0}^{p-1}Big(frac{x^3+mx+n}pBig)Big)^2equiv Big(frac{-3m}pBig) sum_{k=0}^{[p/6]}�inom{2k}k�inom{3k}k�inom{6k}{3k} Big(frac{4m^3+27n^2}{12^3cdot 4m^3}Big)^kpmod p, where (fracap) is the Legendre symbol and [x] is the greatest integer function. As an application we solve some conjectures of Z.W. Sun and the author concerning , where m is an integer not divisible by p.
