This number is L(2, chi3), where L(s, chi3) is the Dirichlet L-function for the non-principal character modulo 3, A102283. - Stuart Clary, Dec 17 2008
Equals 1/1^2 -1/2^2 +1/4^2 -1/5^2 +1/7^2 -1/8^2 +1/10^2 -1/11^2 +-... . This can be split as (1/1^2 -1/5^2 +1/7^2 -1/11^2 +-...) - (1/2^2 -1/4^2 +1/8^2 -1/10^2..) = (g(1)-g(5)) - (g(2)-g(4)). The first of these two series is A214552 and the second series is 1/(2^2)*(1-1/2^2 +1/4^2-1/5^2+-...), namely a quarter of the original series. Therefore 5/4 of this value here equals A214552. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 20 2012
Calegari, Dimitrov, & Tang prove that this number is irrational. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Aug 29 2024

FORMULA
From Jean-François Alcover, Jul 17 2014, updated Jan 23 2015: (Start)
Equals Sum_{n>=1} jacobi(-3, n+3)/n^2.
Equals (8/15)*4F3(1/2,1,1,2; 5/4,3/2,7/4; 3/4), where 4F3 is the generalized hypergeometric function.
Equals 4*Pi*log(3)/(3*sqrt(3)) - 4*Integral_{0..1} log(x+1)/(x^2-x+1) dx. (End)
Equals Product_{p prime} (1 - Kronecker(-3, p)/p^2)^(-1) = Product_{p prime != 3} (1 + (-1)^(p mod 3)/p^2)^(-1). - Amiram Eldar, Nov 06 2023
