Hypergeometric Identities Related to Roberts Reductions of Hyperelliptic Integrals

In this article starting from some reductions of hyperelliptic integrals of genus 3 into elliptic integrals, due to Michael Roberts (A Tract on the addition of Elliptic and hyperelliptic integrals, Hodger, Foster and Co, 1871) we obtain several identities which, to the best of our knowledge, are all new. The strategy used at this purpose is to evaluate Roberts integrals, in two different ways, on one side by means of elliptic integrals, obtained from the Roberts method of reduction and, on the other side, using multivariate hypergeometric functions.
