The universal Kummer congruences

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let p be a prime. In this paper, we present a detailed p-adic analysis to factorials and double factorials and their congruences. We give good bounds for the p-adic sizes of the coefficients of the divided universal Bernoulli number hatBnovern when n is divisible by p−1. Using these we then establish the universal Kummer congruences modulo powers of a prime p for the divided universal Bernoulli numbers hatBnovern when n is divisible by p−1.
