In this note, I develop step-by-step proofs of irrationality for $\,\zeta{(2)}\,$ and $\,\zeta{(3)}$. Though the proofs follow closely those based upon unit-square integrals proposed originally by Beukers, I introduce some modifications…
We provide an explicit $O\left(\log^2{T}\right)$-term of the celebrated Atkinson's formula for the error term $E(T)$ of the second power moment of the Riemann zeta-function on the critical line. As an application, we obtain an explicit…
The sum formula for multiple zeta values are derived, via the Mellin transform, from the Euler connection formula and the Landen connection formula for polylogarithms. These connection formulas for multiple polylogarithms will be considered…

This note contains a short proof of the functional equation for the zeta function.
We give a proof of the irrationality of the $p$-adic zeta-values $\zeta_p(k)$ for $p=2,3$ and $k=2,3$. Such results were recently obtained by F.Calegari as an application of overconvergent $p$-adic modular forms. In this paper we present an…
We compute the critical $L$-values of some weight 3, 4, or 5 modular forms, by transforming them into integrals of the complete elliptic integral $K$. In doing so, we prove closed form formulas for some moments of $K'^3$. Many of our…
We perform a lattice Monte-Carlo calculation of the trace-anomaly two-point function at finite temperature in the SU(3) gauge theory. We obtain the long-distance properties of the correlator in the continuum limit and extract the bulk…
We investigate the extreme values of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$. On the 1-line, we obtain a lower bound evaluation $$\max_{t\in[1,T]}|\zeta(1+\i t)|\ge {\rm e}^\gamma(\log_2T+\log_3T+c),$$ with an effective constant $c$ which…
We present a new proof of Euler's formulas for $\zeta(2k)$, where $k = 1,2,3,...$, which uses only the defining properties of the Bernoulli polynomials, obtaining the value of $\zeta(2k)$ by summing a telescoping series. Only basic…
A general hypergeometric construction of linear forms in (odd) zeta values is presented. The construction allows to recover the records of Rhin and Viola for the irrationality measures of $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$, as well as to explain…
We compute the number of irreducible linear representations of self-similar branch groups, by expressing these numbers as the co\"efficients a_n of a Dirichlet series sum a_n n^{-s}. We show that this Dirichlet series has a positive…
It is known that $|\zeta(1+ it)|\ll (\log t)^{2/3}$. This paper provides a new explicit estimate, viz.\ $|\zeta(1+ it)|\leq 3/4 \log t$, for $t\geq 3$. This gives the best upper bound on $|\zeta(1+ it)|$ for $t\leq 10^{2\cdot 10^{5}}$.
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 $(\gamma, 1! (2a+1)\zeta(2), 2!\zeta(3),..., (m-1)!(a+1+(-1)^ma)\zeta(m)),$…
The approximation constant $\lambda_{k}(\zeta)$ is defined as the supremum of real $\eta$ such that $\Vert \zeta^{j}x\Vert\leq x^{-\eta}$ for $1\leq j\leq k$ has infinitely many integer solutions $x$. Here $\Vert.\Vert$ denotes the distance…
We develop a simple computational tool for $SU(3)$ analogous to Bargmann's calculus for $SU(2)$. Crucial new inputs are, (i) explicit representation of the Gelfand-Zetlin basis in terms of polynomials in four variables and positive or…
For any $\sigma$ with $0\leq \sigma\leq 1$ and any $T>10$ sufficiently large, let $N_{\zeta}(\sigma,K,T)$ be the number of zeros $\rho=\beta+i\gamma$ of $\zeta_{K}(s)$ with $|\gamma|\leq T$ and $\beta\geq \sigma$ and the zero being counted…
New expansions for some functions related to the Zeta function in terms of the Pochhammer's polynomials are given (coefficients b(k), d(k), d_(k) and d__(k). In some formal limit our expansion b(k) obtained via the alternating series gives…
An exact formula that relates standard zeta functions and so-called hatted zeta functions in all orders of perturbation theory is presented. This formula is based on the Landau-Khalatnikov-Fradkin transformation
