The Gauss hypergeometric function ${}_2F_1(a,b,c;z)$ can be computed by using the power series in powers of $z, z/(z-1), 1-z, 1/z, 1/(1-z),(z-1)/z$. With these expansions ${}_2F_1(a,b,c;z)$ is not completely computable for all complex…

In this paper, we present new explicit simultaneous rational approximations converging sub-exponentially to the values of Bell polynomials at the points of the form $(\gamma, 1! (2a+1)\zeta(2), 2!\zeta(3),..., (m-1)!(a+1+(-1)^ma)\zeta(m)),$…

Motivated by the work on hypergeometric summation theorems (recorded in the table III of Prudnikov et al. pp. 541-546), we have established some new summation theorems for Clausen's hypergeometric functions with unit argument in terms of…

Recently Shekhar Suman [arXiv: 2407.07121v6 [math.GM] 3 Aug 2024] made an attempt to prove the irrationality of $\zeta(5)$. But unfortunately the proof is not correct. In this note, we discuss the fallacy in the proof.

In this note, we firstly establish an extended Gauss's summation identity. Using this identity, we compute values of a family of $_4F_3$ hypergeometric functions, which generalize the results obtained by Ferretti et al..

We provide an alternate approach to obtaining expansion formulas on the lines of the well-poised Bailey lemma. We recover results due to Spiridonov and Warnaar and one new formula of this type. These formulas contain an arbitrary sequence…

We introduce several new identities combining basic hypergeometric sums and integrals. Such identities appear in the context of superconformal index computations for three-dimensional supersymmetric dual theories. We give both analytic…

This paper presents geometric proofs for the irrationality of square roots of select integers, extending classical approaches. Building on known geometric methods for proving the irrationality of sqrt(2), the authors explore whether similar…

This survey text deals with irrationality, and linear independence over the rationals, of values at positive odd integers of Riemann zeta function. The first section gives all known proofs (and connections between them) of Ap\'ery's Theorem…

In this paper, we obtain analytical solutions of Laplace transform based some generalized class of the hyperbolic integrals in terms of hypergeometric functions ${}_3F_2 (\pm1)$, ${}_4F_3 (\pm1)$, ${}_5F_4(\pm1)$, ${}_6F_5(\pm1)$,…

We describe a theoretical and effective algorithm which enables us to prove that rather general hypergeometric series and integrals can be decomposed as linear combinations of multiple zeta values, with rational coefficients.

We prove that there is at least one irrationnal among the nine numbers zeta(5), zeta(7),..., zeta(21).

We develop new tools leading, for each integer $n\ge 4$, to a significantly improved upper bound for the uniform exponent of rational approximation $\widehat{\lambda}_n(\xi)$ to successive powers $1,\xi,\dots,\xi^n$ of a given real…

Available proofs of result of the type 'at least one of the odd zeta values $\zeta(5),\zeta(7),\dots,\zeta(s)$ is irrational' make use of the saddle-point method or of linear independence criteria, or both. These two remarkable techniques…

We prove some results on the fibers and images of rational maps from a hyper-K\"ahler manifold. We study in particular the minimal genus of fibers of a fibration into curves. The last section of this paper is devoted to the study of the…

In this note we show how the irrationality measure of $\zeta(s) = \pi^2/6$ can be used to obtain explicit lower bounds for $\pi(x)$. We analyze the key ingredients of the proof of the finiteness of the irrationality measure, and show how to…

We use visible point vector identities to examine polylogarithms in the neighbourhood of the Riemann zeta function zeroes. New formulas limiting to the trivial zeroes and to the critical line on the zeta function are given. Similar results…
