Abstract

In this note, we shall give conditions which guarantee that 1-qb1-qa[nm]∈Z[q] holds. We shall provide a full characterisation for 1-qb1-qa[kam]∈Z[q]. This unifies a variety of results already known in literature. We shall prove new divisibility properties for the binomial coefficients and a new divisibility result for a certain finite sum involving the roots of the unity.
