One of the recent questions, in fact the answer to it, reminded me about the binomial sequence $$ a_n=\sum_{k=0}^n{\binom{n}{k}}^2{\binom{n+k}{k}}^2, \qquad n=0,1,2,\dots, $$ of the Apéry ...

Recently, I found a (conjectural) new series for $\sqrt3\pi$: $$\sum_{k=1}^\infty\frac{(8k-3)\binom{4k}{2k}}{k(4k-1)9^k\binom{2k}k^2}=\frac{\sqrt3\pi}{18}.\label{1}\tag{1}$$ The series converges fast ...

Consider the formal power series $${}_2F_1(1/12,5/12;1;z)^{24}-{}_2F_1(1/12,7/12;1;z)^{24}=-z/3-z^2/2-(320293/559872)z^3-\cdots$$ It follows from a theorem on modular forms that for $p\ge5$ the ...
