Here is one more conjecture I discovered numerically:
∫1−1dx3√9+4√5x (1−x2)2/3?=33/224/355/6πΓ3(13)
How can we prove it?
Note that 3√9+4√5=ϕ2.
Mathematica can evaluate this integral, but gives a large expression in terms of Gauss and Appel hypergeometric functions of irrational arguments.
Answer
I will start with and prove Chen Wang's equivalent formulation:
F(13,1256|45)=3√5.
By the integral representation of hypergeometric functions
(DLMF 15.6.E1), this is equal to
1B(13,12)∫10dxx2/3(1−x)1/2(1−A6x)1/2,
where A=(4/5)1/6 is easier to use than 45. Let the
integral be denoted by I. Introducing two changes of variables,
x↦1/u3 and later u=A2/v, we see that
I=∫∞13udu√(u3−1)(u3−A6)=∫A203Adv√(1−v3)(A6−v3).
The hyperelliptic curve
y2=(x3−1)(x3−A6),13AI=∫A20dxy=∫∞1xAdxy
admits an involution x↦A2/x, and, as demonstrated very
clearly by Jyrki Lahtonen
here, there is a
rational change of variables that maps this curve onto the curve
s2=t3+9A2t2+6A(A3+1)2t+(A3+1)4.
In particular, first by writing
u=x+A2/x,v=y(1x+Ax2),v/ydu/dx=1x−A,
we get
23AI=∫A20dxy+∫∞1xAdxy=∫∞1+A2duvv/ydu/dx(xA−1)=6A∫∞1+A2duv.
(I lost a factor of 6 somewhere in my notes; I'll edit this once I
find it.) And transforming to
t=−(A3+1)2u+2A,s=(A3+1)2v(u+2A)2,
gives
I=9∫0t1dts,t1=−(1−A+A2)2.
Finally, the curve (s,t) is elliptic, and sage
's function
isogenies_prime_degree
tells us that there exists a rational map
given by
z=(9000A2(754+843A3)t+63000(94+105A3)t2+67500A(34+35A3)t3+112500A2(4+3A3)t4+45000t5)/(60508A2+67650A5+100(754+843A3)t+75A(514+575A3)t2+625A2(14+15A3)t3+1250t4),
w/s=(345600(51841+57960A3)+7776000A(2889+3230A3)t+1620000A2(8278+9255A3)t2+1080000(4136+4635A3)t3+48600000A(21+25A3)t4+10125000A2(14+15A3)t5+13500000t6)/(32(832040+930249A3)+1200A(46368+51841A3)t+300A2(159454+178275A3)t2+5000(3872+4329A3)t3+7500A(648+725A3)t4+46875A2(14+15A3)t5+62500t6)
with
w/sdz/dt=6,
that maps the curve (s,t) to the curve
w2=z3+1803.
This means that the integral is given by
I=9×6×∫0−180dz√z3+1803=3√5B(12,13),
where the last integral is elementary in terms of beta functions. Putting things together gives
the desired result.
