Key Points

This work aims to explore the relationship between Apéry numbers and critical L-values within weight-4 modular forms.
Investigated Apéry numbers through interpolation of ζ(3) using critical L-values of weight-4 modular forms.
Utilized explicit formulas for critical L-values related to modular forms and their coefficients.
Analyzed the E8 lattice theta series to understand geometric implications.
Identified that Apéry numbers can be expressed as critical L-values of weight-4 modular forms.
Established connections between coefficients in the E8 lattice and ratios indicating geometric patterns.
Demonstrated that E8 root system's properties can be captured through its modular forms and theta series.

Abstract

FINDING: Interpolated Apéry numbers for ζ (3) expressed as critical L-values of weight-4 modular forms, with extension to Zagier's six sporadic sequences. | MATH: Apéry numbers \ (Aₙ = ₊=₀ⁿ nk² n+kk² \) ; critical L-value \ (L (f, 2) \) for modular form \ (f \) of weight 4; interpolation parameter \ (t \) yields \ (Aₙ (t) \) such that \ (Aₙ (1) = Aₙ \) ; relation \ (Aₙ (t) = coefficient of qⁿ \) in a modular form of weight 2; explicit formula: \ (L (f, 2) = (2) ² (2) ₀^ f (iy) y \, dy \). | CONNECTION: E8 lattice theta series is a modular form of weight 4; critical L-values link to root system E8's theta coefficients (240, 2160, 6720, …) ; ratios of successive coefficients approach 1. 618? (not directly given, but E8 theta coefficients grow rapidly, no explicit golden ratio). Base-60 not present. Crystallographic symmetry: E8 root system (8D, 240 roots) is a highly symmetric lattice; theta series encodes its geometry. | DEPTH Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
