Abstract
Series for \(1/\pi\) and their relation to modular forms have a long history going back to Ramanujan. We will review this connection and give a brief account of the history. We then indicate how to prove a Ramanujan-type formula for \(520/\pi\) that was conjectured by Zhi-Wei Sun. A key ingredient is a hypergeometric representation of the relevant double series, which relies on a recent generating function for Legendre polynomials by James Wan and Wadim Zudilin.
This is joint work with Mathew D. Rogers.
