Relations between values of arithmetic Gevrey series, and applications to values of the Gamma function
Abstract
We investigate the relations between the rings , and of values taken at algebraic points by arithmetic Gevrey series of order either (-functions), (analytic continuations of -functions) or (renormalization of divergent series solutions at of -operators) respectively. We prove in particular that any element of can be written as multivariate polynomial with algebraic coefficients in elements of and , and is the limit at infinity of some -function along some direction. This prompts to defining and studying the notion of mixed functions, which generalizes simultaneously -functions and arithmetic Gevrey series of order 1. Using natural conjectures for arithmetic Gevrey series of order 1 and mixed functions (which are analogues of a theorem of Andr\'e and Beukers for -functions) and the conjecture (but not necessarily all these conjectures at the same time), we deduce a number of interesting Diophantine results such as an analogue for mixed functions of Beukers' linear independence theorem for values of -functions, the transcendance of the values of the Gamma function and its derivatives at all non-integral algebraic numbers, the transcendance of Gompertz constant as well as the fact that Euler's constant is not in .
