- Description
- We resolve a family of recently observed identities involving 1/π using the theory of modular forms and hypergeometric series. In particular, we resort to a formula of Brafman which relates a generating function of the Legendre polynomials to a product of two Gaussian hypergeometric functions. Using our methods, we also derive some new Ramanujan-type series.
