Curious congruences for Fibonacci numbers

Abstract

In this paper we establish some sophisticated congruences involving central binomial coefficients and Fibonacci numbers. For example, we show that if p=2,5 is a prime then Σk=0p-1F2k2kk=(-1)[p/5](1-(p/5)) (mod p2) and Σk=0p-1F2k+12kk=(-1)[p/5](p/5) (mod p2). We also obtain similar results for some other second-order recurrences and raise several conjectures.
