The irrationality-measure conjecture for Catalan's constant

Let

β(2)=n0(1)n(2n+1)2\beta(2)=\sum_{n\geq 0}\frac{(-1)^n}{(2n+1)^2}

be Catalan's constant, and let μ(β(2))\mu(\beta(2)) denote its irrationality measure. Irrationality-measure conjecture. The irrationality measure of Catalan's constant is

μ(β(2))=2.\mu\left(\beta(2)\right)=2.

This is an open problem closely related to the Bateman–Horn conjecture; the surrounding discussion connects it with the existence of infinitely many consecutive prime triples of the specified congruence types.
