Abstract

In 2017, He (2017) [9] established two supercongruences on truncated hypergeometric series and further proposed two related conjectures. Subsequently, Liu (2017) [11] extended He's formulas and confirmed the second conjecture. However, the first conjecture is still open up to now. With the help of the creative microscoping method and the Chinese remainder theorem for coprime polynomials, we derive several q-supercongruences modulo the fourth and fifth powers of a cyclotomic polynomial from Gasper and Rahman's summation formula for basic hypergeometric series. As conclusions, He's first conjecture is confirmed and a more general form of He's second conjecture is proved.
