I used wolframalpha to calculate an integral and here's what I got:
## \displaystyle \int \frac {dy}{y^d} \left( \frac 1 {\sqrt{1-y^{2d}}}-1\right)=\frac{y^{1-d}\left[ y^{2d} \ _2F_1\left( \frac 1 2,\frac{d+1}{2d};\frac {3d+1}{2d};y^{2d} \right)+(d+1)\left( \sqrt{1-y^{2d}}-1 \right) \right]}{1-d^2} ##
Does anyone have any idea how to arrive at this solution?
Thanks
