Further q-Supercongruences from Singh's Quadratic Transformation

TL;DR
This work develops new $q$-supercongruences for truncated ${}_{4}\phi_3$ series by leveraging Singh's quadratic transformation and the creative microscoping method. It establishes parametric $q$-congruences modulo $(1-aq^n)(a-q^n)$, with further corollaries obtained through specialization (e.g., $d=2$ or $d=3$) and $q\to 1$ limits. The proofs synthesize parameter substitutions in Singh's transformation with classical $q$-hypergeometric summations such as $q$-Chu–Vandermonde and Saalschütz, complemented by cyclotomic coprimality arguments. Overall, the results extend existing $q$-analogues of supercongruences and provide a framework for generating additional congruences in the basic hypergeometric setting.
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate some q-congruences for truncated ${}_{4}φ_3$ series by using Singh's quadratic transformation and the creative microscoping method (introduced by Victor J. W. Guo and Zudilin in 2019).
