On two families of period integrals related to Catalan's constant

Source abstract

The construction of a mixed motive associated with Catalan's constant $G=\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n/(2n+1)^2$ in [arXiv:2510.20648] led to a supply of period integrals that evaluate to linear forms in 1 and $G$. Inside this supply, the boundary of the integration domain leads to a natural 3-parameter family of period integrals. We show that this family is closely related to the family of hypergeometric period integrals considered earlier by Rivoal, Zudilin and Nesterenko.
