Let [Formula: see text] be an integer and [Formula: see text] be an odd prime. We study sums and lacunary sums of [Formula: see text]th powers of binomial coefficients from the point of view of arithmetic properties. We develop new congruences and prove the [Formula: see text]-adic convergence of some subsequences and that in every step we gain at least one or three more [Formula: see text]-adic digits of the limit if [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], respectively. These gains are exact under some explicitly given conditions. The main tools are congruential and divisibility properties of the binomial coefficients and multiple and alternating harmonic sums.

We work with a generalization of Stirling numbers of the second kind related to the boson normal ordering problem (P. Blasiak et al.). We show that these numbers appear as part of the coefficients of expressions in which certain sequences of products of binomials, together with their partial sums, are written as linear combinations of some other binomials. We show that the number arrays formed by these coefficients can be seen as natural generalizations of Pascal and Lucas triangles, since many of the known properties on rows, columns, falling diagonals and rising diagonals in Pascal and Lucas triangles, are also valid (some natural generalizations of them) in the arrays considered in this work. We also show that certain closed formulas for hyper-sums of powers of binomial coefficients appear in a natural way in these arrays.

Let [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be an odd prime. We find a supercongruence for [Formula: see text] and related sums of powers of binomial coefficients. These results complement prior results for [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] obtained recently by the author.
