In this post We will derive the remarkable beatiful Hjortnes series used by Apery to prove the irrationality of zeta(3) Recall (proved here ) (1) Letting in (1) and using the fact that we obtain (2) Proof: Dividing (2) by x and integrating from 0 to 1/2 we obtain (3) Let´s now focus on the R.H.S. of (3) Plugging the result of the integral back in (3) we obtain the remarkable result Appendix 1 Recall the following relations regarding the Golden Ratio (A.1) We have proven the following relation in this post (A.2) Also, recall the Trilogarithm identity proved here (A.3) And the Polylogarithm relation proved here (A.4) Example, letting in (A.4) we obtain (A.5) Claim: (A.6) Proof: If we let in (1) we obtain Appendix 2 And we get (A.7) Now we focus on the integral on the L.H.S. Plugging this result back in (A.7) we obtain (A.8) Example, letting x=1 in (A.8) we obtain Reference POLYLOGAR...
