dc.description.abstract | This paper considers the representation of odd moments of the distribution of a four-step uniform random walk in even dimensions, which are based on both linear combinations of two constants representable as contiguous very well-poised generalized hypergeometric series and as even moments of the square of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind. Neither constants are currently available in closed form. New symmetries are found in the critical values of the L-series of two underlying cusp forms, providing a sense in which one of the constants has a formal counterpart. The significant roles this constant and its counterpart play in multidisciplinary contexts is described. The results unblock the problem of representing them in terms of lower-order generalized hypergeometric series, offering progress towards identifying their closed forms. The same approach facilitates a canonical characterization of the hypergeometry of the parbelos, adding to the characterizations outlined by Campbell, D'Aurozio and Sondow (2020, The American Mathematical Monthly 127(1) , 23-32). The paper also connects the econometric problem of characterizing the bias in the canonical autoregressive model under the unit root hypothesis to very well-poised generalized hypergeometric series. The confluence of ideas presented reflects a multidisciplinarity that accords with the approach and philosophy of Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis. | |
