The ψ-operator for (ϕ,Γ)-modules plays an important role in the study of Iwasawa theory via Fontaine’s big rings. In this note, we prove several sharp estimates for the ψ-operator in the cyclotomic case. These estimates immediately imply a number of sharp p-adic combinatorial congruences, one of which extends the classical congruences of Fleck (1913) and Weisman (1977). 1 Combinatorial Congruences Let p be a prime, n ∈ Z>0. Throughout this paper, let [x] denote the integer part of x if x ≥ 0 and [x] = 0 if x < 0. In the author’s course lectures [4] on Fontaine’s theory and p-adic L-functions given at UC Irvine (spring 2005) and at the Morningside Center of Mathematics (summer 2005), the following two congruences were discovered.

...ington∗ Preprint, 2011 1 Introduction We begin by recalling Fleck’s congruence [9]. Let p be a prime and q be an integer. In 1913 A. Fleck discovered that ∑ k≡q (mod p) (−1)k ( t k ) ≡ 0 ( mod p ⌊ t−1 p−1 ⌋ ) (1) for all positive integers t > 0. In 1977 C. S. Weisman [28] extended Fleck’s congruence to obtain ∑ k≡q (mod pα) (−1)k ( t k ) ≡ 0 ( mod p ⌊ t−pα−1 φ(pα) ⌋ ) , (2) where α, t are positive integers ≥ 0, t ≥ pα−1, φ denotes the Euler totient function and ⌊.⌋ is the well-known floor function. When α = 1 it is clear that (2) reduces to (1). Much research is current in this area [8], [6], [24]. We define the Fleck numbers, Cn(t, q), to be the numbers generated by the generalised sum in (1) and (2), such that Cn(t, q) = ∑ k≡q (mod n) (−1)k ( t k ) . (3) These sums have many well known properties [25] such as nCn(t, q) = t ∑ k=0 (−1)k ( t k ) ∑ γn=1 γk−q = ∑ γn=1 γ−q(1− γ)t, (4) from which we can deduce the recurrence relation Cn(t + 1, q) = Cn(t, q)− Cn(t, q − 1).
