Congruences concerning generalized central trinomial coefficients

Authors:

Abstract: For any

n i n m a t h b b N = 0, 1, 2, l d o t s

and

b, c i n m a t h b b Z

, the generalized central trinomial coefficient

T_{n} (b, c)

denotes the coefficient of

x^{n}

in the expansion of

(x^{2} + b x + c)^{n}

. Let

p

be an odd prime. In this paper, we determine the summation

s u m_{k = 0}^{p - 1} T_{k} (b, c)^{2} / m^{k}

modulo

p^{2}

for integers

m

with certain restrictions. As applications, we confirm some conjectural congruences of Sun [Sci. China Math. 57 (2014), 1375--1400].
