Binomial Coefficient Identity

By means of partial fraction decomposition, an algebraic identity on rational function is established. Its limiting case leads us to a harmonic number identity, which in turn has been shown to imply Beukers' conjecture on the congruence of Apéry numbers.

AbstractWe establish two binomial coefficient-generalized harmonic sum identities using the partial fraction decomposition method. These identities are a key ingredient in the proofs of numerous supercongruences. In particular, in other works of the author, they are used to establish modulo

Abstract We present the leading colour and light fermionic planar two-loop corrections for the production of two photons and a jet in the quark-antiquark and quark-gluon channels. In particular, we compute the interference of the two-loop amplitudes with the corresponding tree level ones, summed over colours and polarisations. Our calculation uses the latest advancements in the algorithms for integration-by-parts reduction and multivariate partial fraction decomposition to produce compact and easy-to-use results. We have implemented our results in an efficient C++ numerical code. We also provide their analytic expressions in Mathematica format.

Binomial Coefficient Identity

Using the Algorithm Z developed by Zeilberger, we give a combinatorial proof of the following $q$-binomial coefficient identity $$ \sum_{k=0}^m(-1)^{m-k}{m\brack k}{n+k\brack a}(-xq^a;q)_{n+k-a}q^{{k+1\choose 2}-mk+{a\choose 2}} $$ $$=\sum_{k=0}^n{n\brack k}{m+k\brack a}x^{m+k-a}q^{mn+{k\choose 2}}, $$ which was obtained by Hou and Zeng [European J. Combin. 28 (2007), 214–227].
