Factorial series $j(D)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{(n^D)!}$ and hypergeometric functions
For positive integer $D$, define $j(D)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{(n^D)!}$.
For $D \le 6$, sage finds closed form in terms of hypergeometric functions
at algrebraic arguments and fails to find closed ...

Why mpmath computes $\sum_{n=2}^\infty (-1)^n\log(n)=\log\left(\frac1 2 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{\pi}\right)$
Working with precision 500 decimal digits, mpmath in sage computes:
$$\sum_{n=2}^\infty (-1)^n\log(n)=\log\left(\frac1 2 \sqrt{2} \sqrt{\pi}\right).\tag{1}\label{1}$$
We believe the LHS of \eqref{1} ...
