Difference independence of the Riemann zeta function

Complex Variables 2015-06-26 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

It is proved that the Riemann zeta function does not satisfy any nontrivial algebraic difference equation whose coefficients are meromorphic functions ϕ\phi with Nevanlinna characteristic satisfying T(r,ϕ)=o(r)T(r, \phi)=o(r) as rr\to \infty
