The generating-function conjecture for identities from a five-parameter hypergeometric extension

Let S=S(a,b,c,d,e;n)S=S(a,b,c,d,e;n) denote the summand in the five-parameter hypergeometric extension described above, and let VN(S)V_N(S) be the space of independent summation formulas generated by SS from degree-NN monomials in its parameters. The coefficient of a degree-NN monomial on the right-hand side lies in the multiple zeta values of weight N+3N+3.

Generating-function conjecture. The dimensions of these spaces satisfy

N0dimVN(S)tN=1(1t)(1t2)(1t3)(1t4)(1t5).\sum_{N\geq 0} \dim V_N(S)t^N=\frac{1}{(1-t)(1-t^2)(1-t^3)(1-t^4)(1-t^5)}.

The displayed values for N=0,,7N=0,\ldots,7 are 1,1,2,3,5,7,10,131,1,2,3,5,7,10,13. The conjecture predicts the number of independent summation formulas generated by this hypergeometric seed; its status is resolved according to the supplied evidence.
