Extended non-integrality conjecture for generalized binomial sums

About 4 years old · traced to

Let n,r≥1n,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)(ℓ)\mathcal{S}_{(r,n)}(\ell) denote the generalized binomial sum defined in the paper. Extended non-integrality conjecture. If ℓ∈L\ell\in\mathcal{L}, then

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

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