List of conjectural series for powers of $π$ and other constants

Abstract

The author gives the full list of his conjectures on series for powers of $π$ 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 there are 178 reasonable series for $π^{-1}$, four series for $π^2$, two series for $π^{-2}$, four series for $π^4$, two series for $π^5$, three series for $π^6$, seven series for $ζ(3)$, one series for $πζ(3)$, two series for $π^2ζ(3)$, one series for $ζ(3)^2$, three series involving both $ζ(3)^2$ and $π^6$, one series for $ζ(5)$, three series involving both $ζ(5)$ and $ζ(2)ζ(3)$, two series involving both $πζ(5)$ and $π^3ζ(3)$, three series involving $ζ(7)$, three series for $K=L(2,(\frac{\cdot}{3}))$, one series for the Catalan constant $G$, two series for $πG$, one series involving both $π^3G$ and $π^2ζ(3)$, two series for $πK$, two series involving $L=L(4,(\frac{\cdot}3))$, three series involving $β(4)=L(4,(\frac{-4}{\cdot}))$, and four series for $π^2\log a$ with $a=2,3,(\sqrt5+1)/2$. The code of a conjectural series is underlined if and only if a complete proof of the identity is available.

On the prime field spherical restriction conjecture in four dimensions: breaking the Stein-Tomas exponent and applications

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We prove the extension estimate $R_{S_j}^*(2\to r)\lesssim_r 1$ for every nonzero-radius sphere $S_j\subseteq\mathbb{F}_p^4$ and every $r\geq \, 34/11$, uniformly in $p$ and $j$. This improves the Stein--Tomas exponent $10/3$ established by Iosevich and Koh (2008). We also formulate a localized spherical restriction/extension conjecture that predicts the sharp dependence of the restriction norm on the size of the physical support. This conjecture implies the spherical extension estimates $R_{S_j}^*(2\to r)\lesssim_r 1$ for every $r>3$, and yields almost-every-pin distance estimates at the conjectured Erdős--Falconer exponent in four dimensions, up to an arbitrarily small power loss in the set-size hypothesis. Using the same method, we improve the bounds supplied by Fourier decay and Plancherel at intermediate support scales and derive new almost-every-pin distance estimates in $\mathbb{F}_p^4$.

Dimension-free estimates for discrete maximal functions over cubes in $\mathbb Z^d$

In this short note, we establish dimension-free $\ell^p(\mathbb Z^d)$ bounds, for all $p\in(1,\infty]$, for the discrete Hardy--Littlewood maximal functions associated with cubes in $\mathbb Z^d$, answering a question that had been open for a while. The key idea is to prove dimension-free bounds for the $\ell^p(\mathbb Z^d)$ norms of the differences of the corresponding averages. This follows from an ad hoc interpretation of the associated discrete multipliers as a special continuous family of multipliers to which basic fractional integration and complex interpolation can be applied. The same method also yields an elementary proof of Bourgain's dimension-free $L^p(\mathbb R^d)$ bounds for the Hardy--Littlewood maximal function associated with cubes in $\mathbb R^d$.

Establishing the Polynomial Wolff Axioms for $δ$-Separated $δ$-Tubes With #o-minimality

We establish the full version of a conjecture of Guth and Zahl, giving a lower bound for the volume of a semialgebraic set that has a large intersection with a collection of $δ$-separated $δ$-tubes. Our proof uses o-minimal methods to simplify the proof of Katz and Rogers, who proved the conjecture up to a small factor. We also establish that the constants depend polynomially on the complexity of the semialgebraic set, and more generally in the #o-minimal setting.
