In the joint work (RZ) of T. Rivoal and the author, a hypergeometric construction was proposed for studing arithmetic properties of the values of Dirichlet's beta function �(s) at even positive integers. The construction gives some bonuses (RZ), Section 9, for Catalan's constant G = �(2), such as a second-order Apery-like recursion and a permutation group in the sense of G. Rhin and C. Viola (RV). Here we prove expected integrality properties of solutions to the above recursion as well as… Expand

A Determinantal Approach to Irrationality
It is a classical fact that the irrationality of a number $$\xi \in \mathbb R$$ξ∈R follows from the existence of a sequence $$p_n/q_n$$pn/qn with integral $$p_n$$pn and $$q_n$$qn such that q_n\xiExpand
