Proof of a basic hypergeometric supercongruence modulo the fifth power of a cyclotomic polynomial

(9 pages)

Abstract. By means of the q-Zeilberger algorithm, we prove a basic hypergeometric supercongruence modulo the fifth power of the cyclotomic polynomial Φn(q). This result appears to be quite unique, as in the existing literature so far no basic hypergeometric supercongruences modulo a power greater than the fourth of a cyclotomic polynomial have been proved. We also establish a couple of related results, including a parametric supercongruence.
