Conjecture: For k = 0,1,2,... define S(k,x):= Sum_{j=0..k} binomial(k,j)*binomial(x,j)*binomial(x+j,j).
(i) For any integer n > 0, the polynomial (1/n^2) * Sum_{k=0..n-1}(2k+1)*S(k,x)^2 is integer-valued (and hence a(n) is always integral).
(ii) Let r be 0 or 1, and let x be any integer. Then, for any positive integers m and n, we have the congruence
   Sum_{k=0..n-1} (-1)^(k*r)*(2k+1)*S(k,x)^(2m) == 0 (mod n).
(iii) For any odd prime p, we have Sum_{k=0..p-1} S(k,-1/2)^2 == (-1/p)(1-7*p^3*B_{p-3}) (mod p^4), where (a/p) is the Legendre symbol, and B_0,B_1,B_2,... are Bernoulli numbers. Also, for any prime p > 3 we have Sum_{k=0..p-1} S(k,-1/3)^2 == p - (14/3)*(p/3)*p^3*B_{p-2}(1/3) (mod p^4), where B_n(x) denotes the Bernoulli polynomial of degree n; Sum_{k=0..p-1} S(k,-1/4)^2 == (2/p)*p - 26*(-2/p)*p^3*E_{p-3} (mod p^4), where E_0,E_1,E_2,... are Euler numbers; Sum_{k=0..p-1} S(k,-1/6)^2 == (3/p)*p - (155/12)*(-1/p)*p^3*B_{p-2}(1/3) (mod p^4).
Our conjecture is motivated by a conjecture of Kimoto and Wakayama which states that Sum_{k=0..p-1} S(k,-1/2)^2 == (-1/p) (mod p^3) for any odd prime p. The Kimoto-Wakayama conjecture was confirmed by Long, Osburn and Swisher in 2014.
For more related conjectures, see Sun's paper arXiv.1512.00712. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Dec 03 2015
