Abstract

We prove transcendence of the Hecke-Mahler series n=0f(nθ+α)βn\sum_{n=0}^\infty f(\lfloor n\theta+\alpha \rfloor) \beta^{-n}, where f(x)Z[x]f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x] is a non-constant polynomial α\alpha is a real number, θ\theta is an irrational real number, and β\beta is an algebraic number such that β>1|\beta|>1.
