For any m,n∈N={0,1,2…}, the truncated hypergeometric
series m+1Fm is defined by m+1Fm[x0x1y1……xmymz]n=k=0∑n(y1)k⋯(ym)k(x0)k(x1)k⋯(xm)k⋅k!zk, where (x)k=x(x+1)⋯(x+k−1) is the Pochhammer symbol. Let p be an
odd prime. For α,z∈Zp with $\langle
-\alpha\rangle_p\equiv0\pmod{2},where\langle x\rangle_p$ denotes the least
nonnegative residue of x modulo p for any x∈Zp, we mainly
prove the following congruence motivated by Orr’s identity: 2F1[21α23−21α1z]p−12F1[21α21−21α1z]p−1≡3F2[α2−α1211z]p−1(modp2). As a corollary, for any
positive integer b with p≡±1(modb) and $\langle
-1/b\rangle_p\equiv0\pmod{2},wededucethat∑k=0p−1(b2k+b−1)4k(k2k)(k−1/b)(k1/b−1)≡0(modp2).$ This confirms a conjectural congruence of the second author.
