A general technique for proving the irrationality of the zeta constants $\zeta(s)$ for odd $s = 2n + 1 \geq 3$ from the known irrationality of the beta constants $L(2n+1)$ is developed in this note. The results on the irrationality of the…

The secondary zeta function $Z(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\alpha_n^{-s}$, where $\rho_n=\frac12+i\alpha_n$ are the zeros of zeta with $\Im(\rho)>0$, extends to a meromorphic function on the hole complex plane. If we assume the Riemann hypothesis…

We prove a sum formula with 4 parameters among finite alternating multiple zeta values which can be regarded as an alternating version of the result of Kamano on finite multiple zeta values.

By using the method of iterated integral representations of series, we establish some explicit relationships between multiple zeta values and Integrals of logarithmic functions. As applications of these relations, we show that multiple zeta…

We show that double sums of the form $$ \sum_{i,j=-n} ^{n} |i^sj^t(i^k-j^k)^\beta| \binom {2n} {n+i} \binom {2n} {n+j} $$ can always be expressed in terms of a linear combination of just four functions, namely $\binom {4n}{2n}$, ${\binom…

We derive new results about properties of the Witten zeta function associated with the group SU(3), and use them to prove an asymptotic formula for the number of n-dimensional representations of SU(3) counted up to equivalence. Our analysis…

Conditionally on the Riemann Hypothesis we obtain bounds of the correct order of magnitude for the 2k-th moment of the Riemann zeta-function for all positive real k < 2.181. This provides for the first time an upper bound of the correct…

The present paper is an evolution of the Mengoli's series to the set of rational numbers, which eventually will allow developing the summation, by limits, obtaining the value of zeta(2); problem which Mengoli himself was the first to…

This paper treats about one of the most remarkable achievements by Riemann, that is the symmetric form of the functional equation for {\zeta}(s). We present here, after showing the first proof of Riemann, a new, simple and direct proof of…

The sum formulas for multiple zeta(-star) values and symmetric multiple zeta(-star) values bear a striking resemblance. We explain the resemblance in a rather straightforward manner using an identity that involves the Schur multiple zeta…

In this paper, we study a family of single variable integral representations for some products of $\zeta(2n+1)$, where $\zeta(z)$ is Riemann zeta function and $n$ is positive integer. Such representation involves the integral…

Using the WZ method we present simpler proofs of Koecher's, Leshchiner's and Bailey-Borwein-Bradley's identities for generating functions of the sequences $\{\zeta(2n+2)\}_{n\ge 0}, \{\zeta(2n+3)\}_{n\ge 0}.$ By the same method we give…

For each positive integer n, we determine the set of symmetric functions f for which the congruence f(p/1,p/2,...,p/(p-1)) \equiv 0 mod p^n holds for all sufficiently large primes p. Our determination is conditional on a conjecture…

The Riemann zeta function at integer arguments can be written as an infinite sum of certain hypergeometric functions and more generally the same can be done with polylogarithms, for which several zeta functions are a special case. An…

In this note, we give an exact formula for a general family of rational zeta series involving the coefficient $\zeta(2n)$ in terms of Hurwitz zeta values. This formula generalizes two formulas from a previous paper of the first author. Our…

We prove some weighted sum formulas for half multiple zeta values, half finite multiple zeta values, and half symmetric multiple zeta values. The key point of our proof is Dougall's identity for the generalized hypergeometric function…

Explicit evaluations of the Tornheim-like double series in the form \[ \sum_{n,m=1}^\infty \frac{H_{n+m+s}}{nm\left( n+m+s \right)},\ s\in \mathbb{N\cup } \left\{ 0 \right\} \] and their extensions are given. Furthermore, series of the type…

In the present paper, we prove an identity for the generating function of the quadruple zeta values. Taking homogeneous parts on both sides of the identity and substituting appropriate values for the variables, we obtain the sum formula for…

We present various identities involving the classical Bernoulli and Euler polynomials. Among others, we prove that $$ \sum_{k=0}^{[n/4]}(-1)^k {n\choose 4k}\frac{B_{n-4k}(z) }{2^{6k}} =\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}\sum_{k=0}^{n} (-1)^k…

We prove certain general forms of functional relations among Witten multiple zeta-functions in several variables (or zeta-functions of root systems). The structural background of those functional relations is given by the symmetry with…
