On finite analogues of Euler's constant

Number Theory 2025-01-24 v2

Abstract

We introduce and study finite analogues of Euler's constant in the same setting as finite multiple zeta values. We define a couple of candidate values from the perspectives of a ``regularized value of ζ(1)\zeta(1)'' and of Mascheroni's and Kluyver's series expressions of Euler's constant using Gregory coefficients. Moreover, we reveal that the differences between them always lie in the Q\mathbb{Q}-vector space spanned by 1 and values of a finite analogue of logarithm at positive integers.
