Abstract
Let be Kluyver's probability density for -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 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 admits a uniformly convergent Maclaurin expansion for all odd integers , thus settling another conjecture of Borwein.
