For each field k, we define an abelian category of rationally decomposed mixed motives with integer coefficients. When k is finite, we show that the category is Tannakian, and we prove formulas relating the behaviour of zeta functions near…

It is well known that the arithmetic nature of Mills' prime-representing constant is uncertain: we do not know if Mills' constant is a rational or irrational number. In the case of other prime-representing constants, irrationality can be…

It is shown that the sequence of rational numbers $r(k)$ generated by the ordinary generating function $\prod_{k=1}^\infty (1+x^k/k)$ converges to a limit $C > 0$. $C$ can be expressed as $C = \exp\Bigl(-\sum_{k = 2}^\infty…

It is shown that there is an absolute constant $C$ such that any rational $\frac bq\in]0, 1[, (b, q)=1$, admits a representation as a finite sum $\frac bq=\sum_\alpha\frac {b_\alpha}{q_\alpha}$ where $\sum_\alpha\sum_ia_i(\frac…

Power moments of $$ J_k(t,G) = {1\over\sqrt{\pi}G} \int_{-\infty}^\infty |\zeta(1/2 + it + iu)|^{2k}{\rm e}^{-(u/G)^2} du \qquad(t \asymp T, T^\epsilon \le G \ll T),$$ where $k$ is a natural number, are investigated. The results that are…

In this paper we will study the double zeta values $\zeta(k,m)$ using Picard-Fuchs equation. We will give a very efficient method to evaluate $\zeta(k,1)$ (resp. $\zeta(k,2)$) in terms of the products of zeta values…

The $2$kth pseudomoments of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ are, following Conrey and Gamburd, the $2k$th integral moments of the partial sums of $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line. For fixed $k>1/2$, these moments are known to grow like…

For $k\ge1$, a $k$-almost prime is a positive integer with exactly $k$ prime factors, counted with multiplicity. In this article we give elementary proofs of precise asymptotics for the reciprocal sum of $k$-almost primes. Our results match…

In this article, we introduce a recurrence formula which only involves two adjacent values of the Riemann zeta function at integer arguments. Based on the formula, an algorithm to evaluate $\zeta$-values(i.e. the values of Riemann zeta…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\mathbb{C}_p$ the completion of algebraic closure of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $K$ be an algebraic number field. We fix an embedding $\iota_p:\overline{\mathbb{Q}}\hookrightarrow \mathbb{C}_p$ and denote $K_p$ the…

Let $\xi, \zeta$ be quadratic real numbers in distinct quadratic fields. We establish the existence of effectively computable, positive real numbers $\tau$ and $c$, such that, for every integer $q$ with $q > c$ we have $$ \max\{\|q \xi \|,…

Assuming the Riemann Hypothesis, we obtain an upper bound for the 2k-th moment of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function averaged over the non-trivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$ for every positive integer k. Our bounds are nearly as sharp as…

We prove and conjecture several relations between multizeta values for $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$, focusing on zeta-like values, namely those whose ratio with the zeta value of the same weight is rational (or equivalently algebraic). In particular,…

We prove a sharp upper bound for the fourth moment of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,\alpha)$ on the critical line when the shift parameter $\alpha$ is irrational and of irrationality exponent strictly less than 3. As a consequence, we…

We explore Mahler numbers originating from functions $f(z)$ that satisfy the functional equation $f(z) = (A(z)f(z^d) + C(z))/B(z)$. A procedure to compute the irrationality exponents of such numbers is developed using continued fractions…

Let $[\, \cdot\,]$ be the floor function and $\|x\|$ denotes the distance from $x$ to the nearest integer. In this paper we show that whenever $\alpha$ is irrational and $\beta$ is real then for any fixed $1<c<12/11$ there exist infinitely…

The cyclic insertion conjecture of Borwein, Bradley, Broadhurst and Lison\v{e}k states that inserting all cyclic shifts of some fixed blocks of 2's into the multiple zeta value {\zeta}(1,3,...,1,3) gives an explicit rational multiple of a…

In this article we obtain, using an expression of the digamma function $\psi(x)$ due to Mikolas, integral representations of the zeta function of odd arguments $\zeta(2p+1)$ for any positive value of $p$. The integrand consists of the…

Let $t \in \mathbb{N}$, $\eta >0$. Suppose that $x$ is a sufficiently large real number and $q$ is a natural number with $q \leq x^{5/12-\eta}$, $q$ not a multiple of the conductor of the exceptional character $\chi^*$ (if it exists).…

A unified proof of the irrationality of the special values L(n, X), n > 1 an integer, of the beta L-function is put forward in this note. The first case of n = 2 seems to confirm that the Catalan constant L(2, X) is an irrational number.
