Abstract: Let $p_n(x)=in{t}_0^{i}nfty{J}_0(xt)[J_0(t){]}^{n}xt,mathrmd,t$ be Kluyver's probability density for $n$-step uniform random walks in the Euclidean plane. Through connection to a similar problem in 2-dimensional quantum field theory, we evaluate the third-order derivative ${p_5}^{‴}(0^{+})$ in closed form, thereby giving a new proof for a conjecture of J. M. Borwein. By further analogies to Feynman diagrams in quantum field theory, we demonstrate that $p_n(x),0leqxleq1$ admits a uniformly convergent Maclaurin expansion for all odd integers $ngeq5$, thus settling another conjecture of Borwein.
