On a linear form for Catalan's constant
(11 pages)
Abstract.
It is shown how Andrews' multidimensional extension
of Watson's transformation between
a very-well-poised 8\phi7-series and a balanced
4\phi3-series
can be used to give a straightforward proof of a conjecture of Zudilin
and the second author on the arithmetic behaviour of the coefficients of
certain linear forms of 1 and Catalan's constant. This proof is
considerably simpler and more stream-lined than the first proof,
due the second author.
