Linear independence of shifted log-sine integrals

At least 6 years old · documented by

Let SLs⁡(k1,…,kn)\operatorname{SLs}(k_{1},\dots,k_{n}) denote a shifted log-sine integral, with m,n≥0m,n\geq 0 and ki≥2k_i\geq 2. Linear-independence conjecture. The elements of

{πmSLs⁡(k1,…,kn)|m≥0,n≥0,ki≥2}\left\{\pi^{m}\operatorname{SLs}(k_{1},\dots,k_{n}) \mathrel{}\middle|\mathrel{} m \ge 0, n \ge 0, k_{i} \ge 2\right\}

are Q\mathbb{Q}-linearly independent. Numerical computations found no Q\mathbb{Q}-linear relations for values satisfying m+k1+⋯+kn≤8m+k_{1}+\dots+k_{n}\leq 8, but the general assertion remains open.
