Congruences Modulo Cyclotomic Polynomials and Algebraic Independence for q-Series
Abstract.
We prove congruence relations modulo cyclotomic polynomials for
multisums of q-factorial ratios, therefore generalizing many
well-known p-Lucas congruences. Such congruences connect various
classical generating series to their q-analogs. Using this, we
prove a propagation phenomenon: when these generating series are
algebraically independent, this is also the case for their
q-analogs.
