Extended non-integrality conjecture for generalized binomial sums

Let n,r1n,r\geq 1, let

L={3,2,1,2,3,4,5},\mathcal{L}=\{-3,-2,-1,2,3,4,5\},

and let S(r,n)()\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell) denote the generalized binomial sum defined in the paper. Extended non-integrality conjecture. If L\ell\in\mathcal{L}, then

S(r,n)()Z.\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell)\notin\mathbb{Z}.

The conjecture extends the known non-integrality result beyond the range rnr\geq n or n>rn/5n>r\geq n/5; it would in particular imply the existing conjecture for =2\ell=2.
