Arithmetic conjecture for expected internal-angle sums

About 7 years old · traced to

Let β≥−1\beta\geq -1 be an integer or half-integer, and let n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} and k∈{1,…,n}k\in\{1,\ldots,n\}. The quantity Jn,k(β)\mathbb{J}_{n,k}(\beta) denotes the expected internal-angle sum associated with these parameters. Arithmetic conjecture. If both 2β+n2\beta+n and n−kn-k are odd, then

Jn,k(β)=qπ−(n−k−1)\mathbb{J}_{n,k}(\beta)=q\pi^{-(n-k-1)}

for some rational number qq. This strengthens the known arithmetic description in the corresponding odd-parity case; it is based on symbolic computations and is not proved in the source.
