A contour used in [Calegari–Dimitrov–Tang, 2024] to prove L(2, χ−3) ∈/ Q.
In 1978, Apéry proved that ζ(3) was irrational. Almost 50 years later, we still don’t know if ζ(5) is irrational. Why not? The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts on explicit rational approximations and motivic differential equations to consider new approaches to these questions.
