For $f$ and $g$ polynomials in $p$ variables, we relate the special value at a non-positive integer $s=-N$, obtained by analytic continuation of the Dirichlet series $$ \zeta(s;f,g)=\sum_{k_1=0}^\infty ... \sum_{k_p=0}^\infty…

The research shows that Riemann proved that all of zeros of Riemann's zeta function are on $\sigma=1/2$ based on the functional equation \begin{align*} \pi^{-\frac{s}{2}}\Gamma \left( \frac{s}{2} \right) \zeta(s)&={\frac{1}{s(s-1)} +…

This paper studies a zeta function of two complex variables (w, s) attached to an algebraic number field K, introduced by van der Geer and Schoof, which is based on an analogue of the Riemann-Roch theorem for number fields using Arakelov…

We exploit some properties of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta (n,x)$ in order to study sums of the form $\frac{1}{\pi ^{n}}\sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}1/(jk+l)^{n}$ and $\frac{1}{\pi ^{n}}\sum_{j=-\infty}^{\infty}(-1)^{j}/(jk+l)^{n}$ for $%…

Let $r\geq 1$ be a positive integer, $A$ a real positive semi-definite symmetric $r\times r$ rational matrix, $B$ a rational vector of length $r$, and $C$ a rational scalar. Nahm's problem is to find all triples $(A,B,C)$ such that the…

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…

A scaling and renormalization approach to the Riemann zeta function, $\zeta$, evaluated at $-1$ is presented in two ways. In the first, one takes the difference between $U_{n}:=\sum_{q=1}^{n}q$ and $4U_{\left\lfloor \frac{n}{2}\right\rfloor…

We present a unified approach which gives completely elementary proofs of three weighted sum formulae for double zeta values. This approach also leads to new evaluations of sums relating to the harmonic numbers, the alternating double zeta…

One familiar with the Euler zeta function, which established the remarkable relationship between the prime and composite numbers, might naturally ponder the results of the application of this special function in cases where there is no…

The multiple zeta values are generalizations of the values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. They are known to satisfy a number of relations, among which are the cyclic sum formula. The cyclic sum formula can be stratified…

We give a new and very concise proof of the existence of a holomorphic continuation for a large class of twisted multivariable zeta functions. To do this, we use a simple method of "decalage" that avoids using an integral representation of…

We show that if a,b,c,d,f are positive integers such that a+b+c+d+f is even, then the Witten zeta value zeta_{sl(4)}(a,b,c,d,0,f) is expressible in terms of Witten zeta functions with fewer arguments.

We define a parametric variant of generalized Euler sums and construct contour integration to give some explicit evaluations of these parametric Euler sums. In particular, we establish several explicit formulas of (Hurwitz) zeta functions,…

Multiple zeta values (MZVs, also called Euler sums or multiple harmonic series) are nested generalizations of the classical Riemann zeta function evaluated at integer values. The fact that an integral representation of MZVs obeys a shuffle…

We consider the partial theta function $\theta (q,x):=\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}q^{j(j+1)/2}x^j$, where $x\in \mathbb{C}$ is a variable and $q\in \mathbb{C}$, $0<|q|<1$, is a parameter. We show that, for any fixed $q$, if $\zeta$ is a multiple…

In this paper, we formally introduce the notion of Ap{\'e}ry-like sums and we show that every multiple zeta values can be expressed as a $\bf Z$-linear combination of them. We even describe a canonical way to do so. This allows us to put in…
