Abstract
We consider a -function , where is a number field, of radius of convergence and annihilated by the -operator , and a parameter . We define a family of -functions indexed by the integers and . Fix . Let be the -vector space generated by the values , , . We show that there exist some positive constants and such that . This generalizes a previous theorem of Fischler and Rivoal (2017), which is the case . Our proof is an adaptation of their article "Linear independence of values of -functions'' ([FR]), making use of the Andr\'e-Chudnovsky-Katz Theorem on the structure of the -operators and of the saddle point method.
