I posted a short preprint http://arxiv.org/pdf/1203.4498v2.pdf a few months ago. The central object in it is the formula in Figure 3--given in plain text at the bottom of this email. (It can be copied-and-pasted into a Mathematica notebook.). The formula contains a "family" of six 7F6 hypergeometric functions. It seems to have a number of very interesting (quantum-information-theoretic) properties--as indicated in the preprint. (The upper and lower parameters form intriguing sequences, and the argument of all the six functions is (27/64) = (3/4)^3. For non-negative integers and half-integers, it appears to yield rational values.) It took considerable work to get the formula as "concise" as it is now (LeafCount=530). The original form, generated using the Mathematica FindSequenceFunction command on a sequence of length 32, extended over several pages of output--and also had six (different) hypergeometric functions embedded in it. I have devoted a considerable amount of effort, unsuccessfully, to see if it can be made more concise/digestible. In particular, I have never been able to derive an equivalent form in which fewer than six independent hypergeometric formulas are present. Any thoughts? Thanks! Paul B.
