Re: [math-fun] Hypergeometric solution of the quintic

So, if one is interested in solving y^5+y=1, say, then the series above won't converge. Is there an analytic continuation of the 4F3 that would be defined for large values of x and which would still give a solution of that quintic, or is there another way to get around that?

It looks like http://arxiv.org/abs/1403.2858 is spot on. (Outside my turf, so I cannot rate quality.)

Cheers,
