Let i and r be positive integers,the nth partial sum of the generalized har-monic series is defined byHn(r)=(?).Let p be a prime number and vpbe a p-adic exponential valuation,we define the p-divisible set Jp(r)={n>0|vp(Hn(r))>0}.The goal of this article is to discuss some basic properties of the general-ized harmonic series,including the exponential valuations,congruence relation-s,p-divisible sets and some related conjectures.The Wolstenholme’s theorem asserts that(?)≡1 mod p3.for p>3.If this congruence holds modulo p4,then p is called a Wolstenholme prime.Further,there is a close link between the generalized harmonic series and Wolstenholme type congruences.So the Wolstenholme theorem,Wolstenholme prime and the converse of Wolstenholme theorem will be introduced in detail.In this article,first we study the relation between vp(Hnpk(r))and vp(Hn(r)).Second,we obtain a congruence equation modulo p12involving Hp-1(r).Third,for p-divisible set J11(r),we can assure it is finite for all 1≤r≤3×108,moreover,ifr(?)1 or 3 mod 10,J11(r)is also finite.Fourth,we get a congruence for?modulo p12,and we provide a family of integers,for which the converse of Wol-stenholme theorem holds.
