Abstract: New relations are established between families of three-variable Mahler measures. Those identities are then expressed as transformations for the 5F4 hypergeometric function. We use these results to obtain two explicit 5F4 evaluations, and several new formulas for 1/pi.


In this paper the author obtains some formulas for three variable Mahler measures in terms of \(_5F_4\) hypergeometric function. Using this he derives some new formulas for \(1/\pi\). For example, if \(a_n=\sum_{k=0}^n {2n-2k \choose n-k} {2k \choose k} {n \choose k}^2\) then \[ \frac{2}{\pi}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n \frac{(3n+1)a_n}{32^n} \] and \[ \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{3\pi}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(5n+1)a_n}{64^n}. \]
