Abstract

We exploit some properties of the Hurwitz zeta function ζ(n,x)\zeta (n,x) in order to study sums of the form 1πnj=1/(jk+l)n\frac{1}{\pi ^{n}}\sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}1/(jk+l)^{n} and 1πnj=(1)j/(jk+l)n\frac{1}{\pi ^{n}}\sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}(-1)^{j}/(jk+l)^{n} for % 2\leq n,k\in \mathbb{N}, and integer lk/2l\leq k/2. We show that these sums are algebraic numbers. We also show that 1<nN1<n\in \mathbb{N} and pQ(0,1)p\in \mathbb{Q\cap (}0,1\mathbb{)} :: the numbers (ζ(n,p)+(1)nζ(n,1p))/πn(\zeta (n,p)+(-1)^{n}\zeta (n,1-p))/\pi ^{n} are algebraic. On the way we find polynomials sms_{m} and cmc_{m} of order respectively 2m+12m+1 and 2m+22m+2 such that their nn-th coefficients of sine and cosine Fourier transforms are equal to % (-1)^{n}/n^{2m+1} and (1)n/n2m+2(-1)^{n}/n^{2m+2} respectively.
