AbstractSeveral new q-supercongruences are obtained using transformation formulas for basic hypergeometric series, together with various techniques such as suitably combining terms, and creative microscoping, a method recently developed by the first author in collaboration with Zudilin. More concretely, the results in this paper include q-analogues of supercongruences (referring to p-adic identities remaining valid for some higher power of p) established by Long, by Long and Ramakrishna, and several other q-supercongruences. The six basic hypergeometric transformation formulas which are made use of are Watson’s transformation, a quadratic transformation of Rahman, a cubic transformation of Gasper and Rahman, a quartic transformation of Gasper and Rahman, a double series transformation of Ismail, Rahman and Suslov, and a new transformation formula for a nonterminating very-well-poised $${}_{12}\phi _{11}$$ 12 ϕ 11 series. Also, the nonterminating q-Dixon summation formula is used. A special case of the new $${}_{12}\phi _{11}$$ 12 ϕ 11 transformation formula is further utilized to obtain a generalization of Rogers’ linearization formula for the continuous q-ultraspherical polynomials.

We present a new matrix inverse with applications in the theory of bilateral basic hypergeometric series. Our matrix inversion result is directly extracted from an instance of Bailey's very-well-poised ${}_6\psi_6$ summation theorem, and involves two infinite matrices which are not lower-triangular. We combine our bilateral matrix inverse with known basic hypergeometric summation theorems to derive, via inverse relations, several new identities for bilateral basic hypergeometric series.
