Congruences modulo cyclotomic polynomials and algebraic independence for \(q\)-series. (English. French summary) Zbl 1405.11019

Summary: We prove congruence relations modulo cyclotomic polynomials for multisums of \(q\)-factorial ratios, therefore generalizing many well-known \(p\)-Lucas congruences. Such congruences connect various classical generating series to their \(q\)-analogs. Using this, we prove a propagation phenomenon: when these generating series are algebraically independent, this is also the case for their \(q\)-analogs.
