Abstract: In 3 dimensions, the Ising model is in the same universality class as phi4-theory, whose massive 3-loop tetrahedral diagram, CTet, was of an unknown analytical nature. In contrast, all single-scale 4-dimensional tetrahedra were reduced, in hep-th/9803091, to special values of exponentially convergent polylogarithms. Combining dispersion relations with the integer-relation finder PSLQ, we find that CTet/25/2=Cl2(4alpha)Cl2(2alpha), with Cl2(heta):=sumn>0sin(nheta)/n2 and alpha:=arcsinfrac13. This empirical relation has been checked at 1,000-digit precision and readily yields 50,000 digits of CTet, after transformation to an exponentially convergent sum, akin to those studied in math.CA/9803067. It appears that this 3-dimensional result entails a polylogarithmic ladder beginning with the classical formula for pi/sqrt2, in the manner that 4-dimensional results build on that for pi/sqrt3.
