Mod p³ analogues of theorems of Gauss and Jacobi on binomial coefficients
A congruence of Emma Lehmer (1938) for Euler numbers modulo p in terms of a certain sum of reciprocals of squares of integers was recently extended to prime power moduli by T. Cai et al. We generalize this further to arbitrary composite moduli n and characterize those n for which the sum in question vanishes modulo n (or modulo n/3 when 3|n). Primes for which play an important role, and we present some numerical results.
