Two hypergeometric tales and a new irrationality measure of \(\zeta (2)\) (Q742923): Difference between revisions

The author proves that the irrationality exponent of the number \(\zeta(2)=\pi^2/6\) is bounded from above by \(5.09541178\). He also proves several identities for hypergeometric integrals which include the number \(\zeta(2)\). The proof is not simple and requires some knowledge from the theory of the hypergeometrical functions.
