Recently, Sun [preprint, arXiv: 2210.07238v7] proposed two conjectural series for the mathematical constant $\zeta(4)$ and two conjectural series for the mathematical constant $\zeta(5)$. In terms of the operator method and two…
Riemann zeta function is important in a lot of branches of number theory. With the help of the operator method and several transformation formulas for hypergeometric series, we prove four series involving Riemann zeta function. Two of them…
In terms of Sear's transformation formula for $_4\phi_3$-series, we give new proofs of a summation formula for ${_4\phi_3}$-series due to Andrews [2] and another summation formula for${_4\phi_3}$-series conjectured in the same paper.…
We deduce several curious q-series expansions by applying inverse relations to certain identities for basic hypergeometric series. After rewriting some of these expansions in terms of q-integrals, we obtain, in the limit q -> 1, some…
In terms of the operator method, we prove two conjectural series for $\pi$ of Sun involving harmonic numbers of order two. Furthermore, we also give $q$-analogues of six $\pi$-formulas including the two ones just mentioned.
Sun, in 2022, introduced a conjectured evaluation for a series of convergence rate $\frac{1}{2}$ involving harmonic numbers. We prove both this conjecture and a stronger version of this conjecture, using a summation technique based on a…

We confirm a conjectural supercongruence involving Catalan numbers, which is one of the 100 selected open conjectures on congruences of Sun. The proof makes use of hypergeometric series identities and symbolic summation method.
We prove two determinant evaluations attached to Sun's conjectures on matrices of Legendre symbols. The first one resolves the \(p\equiv1\pmod4\) part of Conjecture 4.8(i) by reducing the determinant with four indeterminates to a four-entry…
In a recent work on Euler-type formulae for even Dirichlet beta values, i.e. $\beta{(2n)}$, I have derived an exact closed-form expression for a class of zeta series. From this result, I have conjectured closed-form summations for two…
Harmonic numbers are important in a lot of branches of number theory. By means of the derivative operator, the integral operator, and several summation and transformation formulas for hypergeometric series, we prove four series containing…
In recent work, Sun constructed two $q$-series, and he showed that their limits as $q\rightarrow1$ give new derivations of the Riemann-zeta values $\zeta(2)=\pi^2/6$ and $\zeta(4)=\pi^4/90$. Goswami extended these series to an infinite…
The author gives the full list of his conjectures on series for powers of $\pi$ and other important constants scattered in some of his public papers or his private diaries. The list contains 234 reasonable conjectural series. On the list…
We confirm a conjecture of Sun on the expansions of $n(m^k-1)/(m-1)$ in base $m$.
By applying the derivative operator to the known identities from hypergeometric series or WZ pairs, we obtain seven series associated with harmonic numbers. Specifically, six of them are Ramanujan-like formulas for $1/\pi$ and the remaining…
Dirichlet's $L$-functions are natural extensions of the Riemann zeta function. In this paper we first give a brief survey of Ap\'ery-like series for some special values of the zeta function and certain $L$-functions. Then, we establish two…
There exists an infinite series of ratios by which one can derive the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ from Catalan numbers and central binomial coefficients which appear in the terms of the series. While admittedly the derivation is not…
Shimura's conjectire (1963) concerns the rationality of the generating series for Hecke operators for the symplectic group of genus g. This conjecture wes proved by Andrianov for arbitrary genus g. For genus g=4, we explicify the rational…
We prove the Pisot Conjecture for beta-substitutions: If beta is a Pisot number, the tiling dynamical system associated with the beta-substitution has pure discrete spectrum. As corollaries: (1) arithmetical coding of the hyperbolic…
In this article, we establish an additive decomposition of the discrete zeta function (for $s \in \mathbb{N}^*$, $s > 1$), more precisely of the function $4(\zeta(s)-1)$, as a series whose general term is of the form $1/x_n(s) + 1/y_n(s) +…
