A277167 Prime numbers p such that (-1)^h + (h!)^2 == 0 (mod p^2) where h = (p-1)/2. 0

%N Prime numbers p such that (-1)^h + (h!)^2 == 0 (mod p^2) where h = (p-1)/2.

%C The above congruence is true modulo p for all odd primes. See A089043. But like for Wilson congruence, it is true modulo p^2, for a restricted number of primes. After 53, the next one (if any) seems very far away (>500000).

%C The fact that the congruence is true modulo p for all odd primes was proved by Lagrange in 1771. Using a theorem of Mathews (1892) and Eisenstein's logarithmetic rule for the Fermat quotient, the condition stated in the definition can be restated as W_p == -2q_p(2) (mod p), where W_p is the Wilson quotient of p (A007619) and q_p(2) is the Fermat quotient of p, base 2 (A007663). - _John Blythe Dobson_, Jul 31 2017
