Congruences among generalized Bernoulli numbers
We systematically investigate the expressions and congruences for both a one-parameter family as well as a two-parameter family of sequences.
A prime is said to be a Wolstenholme prime if it satisfies the congruence . For such a prime , we establish an expression for given in terms of the sums (. Further, the expression in this congruence is reduced in terms of the sums (). Using this congruence, we prove that for any Wolstenholme prime we have Moreover, using a recent result of the author, we prove that a prime satisfying the above congruence must necessarily be a Wolstenholme prime. Furthermore, applying a technique...
