New series for powers of and related congruences

Publication date 22 September 2020

Abstract: Via symbolic computation we deduce 97 new type series for powers of

p i

related to Ramanujan-type series. Here are three typical examples:

sum_{k=0}^infty frac{P(k) �inom{2k}k�inom{3k}k �inom{6k}{3k}}{(k+1)(2k-1)(6k-1)(-640320)^{3k}} =frac{18 imes557403^3sqrt{10005}}{5pi}

with �egin{align*}P(k) = &637379600041024803108 k^2 + 657229991696087780968 k \&+ 19850391655004126179, end{align*}

sum_{k=1}^infty frac{(3k+1)16^k}{(2k+1)^2k^3�inom{2k}k^3} = frac{pi^2-8}2,

and

sum_{n=0}^inftyfrac{3n+1}{(-100)^n} sum_{k=0}^n{nchoose k}^2T_k(1,25)T_{n-k}(1,25) = frac{25}{8pi},

where the generalized central trinomial coefficient

T_{k} (b, c)

denotes the coefficient of

x^{k}

in the expansion of

(x^{2} + b x + c)^{k}

. We also formulate a general characterization of rational Ramanujan-type series for

1 / p i

via congruences, and pose 117 new conjectural series for powers of

p i

via looking for corresponding congruences. For example, we conjecture that

sum_{k=0}^inftyfrac{39480k+7321}{(-29700)^k}T_k(14,1)T_k(11,-11)^2=frac{6795sqrt5}{pi}.

Eighteen of the new series in this paper involve some imaginary quadratic fields with class number

8

.
