Abstract

We study the entire interpolation G(z)=01(xz)dx \mathcal{G}(z)=\int_0^1 \binom{x}{z}\,dx of the Gregory coefficients. Its completion satisfies the positive Markov-transform identity πzsin(πz)G(z)=n=1nGnnz. \frac{\pi z}{\sin(\pi z)}\mathcal{G}(z) =\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{n\left|G_n\right|}{n-z}. Consequently, every zero is real and simple; the negative zeros are the integers 1,2,-1,-2,\ldots, and one zero ρn\rho_n lies in each (n,n+1)(n,n+1). We derive complete logarithmic asymptotics for ρnn\rho_n-n, determine the Cartwright growth and canonical products of G\mathcal{G}, and realize 1/ρn1/\rho_n spectrally. The resulting relative determinant yields γ=n=1(1n1ρn). \gamma=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{1}{n}-\frac{1}{\rho_n}\right).
