Ramanujan-like formulas for 1/π2 a la Guillera and Zudilin and Calabi-Yau differential equations

Using the PSLQ-algorithm J.Guillera found some formulas for 1/π2. He proved three of them using WZ-pairs. Then W. Zudilin showed how to produce formulas for 1/π2 by squaring formulas for 1/π. The success of this depends on facts related to Calabi-Yau differential equations of string theory. Here som...
