Conjecture on the denominators of the iterated integral of ln⁡(1+x2)\ln(1+x^2)

At least 15 years old · documented by

Let An,2(x)A_{n,2}(x) be the rational polynomial part of the nnth iterated integral in the ln⁡(1+x2)\ln(1+x^2) case, and let αn,2\alpha_{n,2} be its denominator. Let m≥1m\ge1 be an integer. Denominator conjecture.

αn,2={1if n=1,n! \lcm⁡(1,2,…,n)6if n=2⋅3m for some m≥1,n! \lcm⁡(1,2,…,n)2otherwise.\alpha_{n,2}=\begin{cases} 1 & \text{if $n=1$},\\ \dfrac{n!\,\operatorname*{\lcm}(1,2,\dots,n)}{6} & \text{if $n=2\cdot3^m$ for some $m\ge1$},\\ \dfrac{n!\,\operatorname*{\lcm}(1,2,\dots,n)}{2} & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases}

This is an arithmetic formulation of the predicted cancellations in the coefficients of An,2(x)A_{n,2}(x), and the source gives no evidence that it has been proved or disproved.
