Two new sequences, which are analogues of six sporadic examples of D. Zagier, are presented. The connection with modular forms is established and some new series for 1/π are deduced. The experimental procedure that led to the discovery of these results is recounted. Proofs of the main identities will be given, and some congruence properties that appear to be satisfied by the sequences will be stated as conjectures.
SOME NEW SERIES FOR 1 / π AND RELATED CONGRUENCES
In this paper we prove some new series for 1/π as well as related congruences. We also raise several new kinds of series for 1/π and present related conjectural congruences involving representationsExpand

Abstract A general theorem is stated that unifies 93 rational Ramanujan-type series for 1/π, 40 of which are believed to be new. Moreover, each series is shown to have a companion identity, therebyExpand
Interpolated Sequences and Critical L -Values of Modular Forms

Recently, Zagier expressed an interpolated version of the Apery numbers for $$\zeta (3)$$ in terms of a critical L-value of a modular form of weight 4. We extend this evaluation in two directions. WeExpand
New representations for all sporadic Ap\'ery-like sequences, with applications to congruences
Sporadic Apéry-like sequences were discovered by Zagier, by Almkvist and Zudilin and by Cooper in their searches for integral solutions for certain families of secondand third-order differentialExpand

In 1982, Gessel showed that the Apéry numbers associated to the irrationality of ζ(3) satisfy Lucas congruences. Our main result is to prove corresponding congruences for all known sporadicExpand
Level 14 and 15 analogues of Ramanujan’s elliptic functions to alternative bases

We briefly review Ramanujan’s theories of elliptic functions to alternative bases, describe their analogues for levels 5 and 7, and develop new theories for levels 14 and 15. This gives rise to aExpand

We show that the solutions to the equations defining the so-called Calabi-Yau condition for fourth order operators of degree two defines a variety that consists of ten irreducible components. TheseExpand

In this article, we derive a sequence of numbers which converge to 1/π. We will also derive a new series for 1/π. These new results are motivated by the study of Ramanujan’s cubic continued fraction.
