Just another method for generating series of even powers of number Pi

Abstract

In our previous publication we have shown a method for calculating series of even powers of $π$ based on the product representation of the $sinc$ function. We refer the readers to [1] for more details. In this work we apply the method to the product representation of the $cosine$ function and and thereby derive nice series formulas for even powers of the number $π$, such as \[ \frac{1}{2\,!} \left(\fracπ{2}\right)^2 = \sum_{\ell_1=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\left(2\,\ell_1-1\right)^2} \;;\quad \frac{1}{4\,!} \left(\fracπ{2}\right)^4 = \sum_{\ell_{2}=2}^{\infty} \left(\sum_{\ell_{1}=1}^{\ell_{2}-1} \frac{1}{ \left(2\,\ell_1-1\right)^2 \cdot \left(2\,\ell_2-1\right)^2} \right)\;; \] \[ \frac{1}{6\,!}\left(\fracπ{2}\right)^6 =\sum_{\ell_{3}=3}^{\infty} \left(\sum_{\ell_{2}=2}^{\ell_{3}-1} \left(\sum_{\ell_{1}=1}^{\ell_{2}-1} \frac{1}{ \left(2\,\ell_1-1\right)^2\cdot \left( 2\,\ell_2-1\right)^2 \cdot \left(2\,\ell_3-1\right)^2} \right)\right) \] Many of these formulas do not seem to be widely known. -- In unserer früheren Publikationen haben wir ein Verfahren vorgestellt, das die Berechnung von Reihen für geradzahlige $π$-Potenzen unter Verwendung der $sinc$-Funktion ermöglicht. Wir verweisen die versierte Leserschaft auf \cite{AS} für nähere Details. In dieser Abhandlung wenden wir das Verfahren auf die Produktdarstellung der $cosinus$-Funktion an und erhalten weitere Reihendarstellungen für geradzahlige $π$-Potenzen. Die meisten der vorgestellten Reihen scheinen nicht so bekannt zu sein.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. Liu proposed the conjecture \[ \sum_{\text{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \ge 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,\qquad k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $k<1$. We prove this conjecture by reducing it to an algebraic inequality for three positive variables with prescribed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.

A quadratic critical-value conjecture for the fifth Bessel moment

We conjecture an explicit evaluation of the pure fifth Bessel moment $\int_0^\infty K_0(t)^5\,dt$ as a quadratic expression in the critical value $L(f,2)$ of the weight-three, level-60 newform $f$ (LMFDB orbit 60.3.b.a) identified in the twisted fifth-moment modularity theorem of Lim, Tu and Yu, with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5})$ and the square taken before the real and imaginary parts. Directed interval computations, using no stored Bessel or $L$-values, bound the absolute discrepancy by $10^{-358}$. We prove three exact modular identities for $f$: the Petersson-norm formula $\langle f,f\rangle_{60} = \frac{3(5-\sqrt{5})}{2π^4}|L(f,2)|^2$, the coefficient-conjugation relation $L(f^σ,2) = κL(f,2)$ with explicit $κ\in \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5},i)$, and the twisted symmetric-square evaluation $L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,2) = \sqrt{15}\,π^2 \langle f,f\rangle_{60}$, together with $L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,3) = π^4\langle f,f\rangle_{60}/8$, in the full Euler-factor normalization of Lim, Tu and Yu. The last identity shows that the companion norm conjecture $D_{5,\mathrm{odd}} = \frac{3\sqrt{15}(5-\sqrt{5})}{2}|L(f,2)|^2$ is equivalent to the symmetric-square conjecture $D_{5,\mathrm{odd}} = π^2 L(χ_{-4}\mathrm{Sym}^2 f,2)$ of Lim, Tu and Yu, while the exact relation $D_{5,\mathrm{even}} = π^2 D_{5,\mathrm{odd}}/(2\sqrt{15})$ follows from Chuang's period formulas. Every Bessel-to-modular equality, including the individual-period formula, remains conjectural. Complete proofs, exact rational certificates and verification programs are included as ancillary files.
