The secondary zeta function is defined as a generalized zeta series over the imaginary parts of non-trivial zeros assuming (RH). This function admits Laurent series expansion at the double pole at $s=1$. In this article, we derive a new…

An integer-valued polynomial $P(x,y,z)$ is said to be universal (over $\mathbb Z$) if each nonnegative integer can be written as $P(x,y,z)$ with $x,y,z\in\mathbb Z$. In this paper, we mainly introduce a new technique to determine the…

We formulate a parametrized uniformly absolutely globally convergent series of $\zeta$(s) denoted by Z(s, x). When expressed in closed form, it is given by Z(s, x) = (s -- 1)$\zeta$(s) + 1 x Li s z z -- 1 dz, where Li s (x) is the…

In this note we give the most elementary method (as far as we know) to express $\zeta(2n+1)$ in terms of $\{\zeta(2k)|k\geq 1\}$. The method is based on only some elementary works by Leonhard Euler, so it is very instructive to non-experts…

We investigate the distribution of large values of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ in the strip $1/2<\re s<1$. For any fixed $\re s=\sigma\in(1/2,1)$, we obtain an improved distribution function of large values of $|\zeta(\sigma+\i…

Plouffe conjectured rapidly converging series formulas for $\pi^{2n+1}$ and $\zeta (2n+1)$ for small values of $n$. We find the general pattern for all nonnegative integer values of $n$ and offer a proof.

Using Cauchy's Integral Theorem as a basis, what may be a new series representation for Dirichlet's function $\eta(s)$, and hence Riemann's function $\zeta(s)$, is obtained in terms of the Exponential Integral function $E_{s}(i\kappa)$ of…

For a number field $K$, let $\zeta_{K}(s)$ be the Dedekind zeta function associated to $K$. In this note, we study non-vanishing and transcendence of $\zeta_{K}$ as well as its derivative $\zeta_{K}'$ at $s= 1/2$. En route, we strengthen a…

In this article, we study special values of the Dedekind zeta function over an imaginary quadratic field. The values of the Dedekind zeta function at any even integer over any totally real number field is quite well known in literature. In…

We evaluate in closed form three special classes of alternating zeta series with one and two additional parameters. Two classes are expressed as linear combinations of polylogarithms while for the third class we prove an expression…

We examine an unstudied manuscript of N.~S.~Koshliakov over $150$ pages long and containing the theory of two interesting generalizations $\zeta_p(s)$ and $\eta_p(s)$ of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$, which we call \emph{Koshliakov…

We examine an identity originally stated in Ramanujan's ``lost notebook'' and first proven algebraically by Andrews and combinatorially by Kim. We give two independent combinatorial proofs and interpretations of this identity, which also…

Several identities for the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta(s)$ are proved. For example, if $s = \sigma + it$ and $\sigma > 0$, then $$ \int_{-\infty}^\infty |{(1-2^{1-s})\zeta(s)\over s}|^2dt = {\pi\over\sigma}(1 -…

We focus on three pages in Ramanujan's lost notebook, pages 336, 335, and 332, in decreasing order of attention. On page 336, Ramanujan proposes two identities, but the formulas are wrong -- each is vitiated by divergent series. We…

Let $\sigma_a^{(N)}(n)=\sum_{d^{N}|n}d^a$. An explicit transformation is obtained for the generalized Lambert series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sigma_{a}^{(N)}(n)e^{-ny}$ for Re$(a)>-1$ using the recently established Vorono\"i summation formula…

We prove the second author's "denominator conjecture" [40] concerning the common denominators of coefficients of certain linear forms in zeta values. These forms were recently constructed to obtain lower bounds for the dimension of the…

In $1735$ Euler \cite{1} proved that for each positive integer $k$, the series $\zeta(2k) = \sum_{\ell=1}^{\infty} \ell^{-2k}$ converges to a rational multiple of $\pi^{2k}$. Many demonstrations of this fact are now known, and Euler's…

The main goal of this article is to present an elementary proof of Ramanujan's identity for odd zeta values. Our proof solely relies on a Mittag-Leffler type expansion for hyperbolic cotangent function and Euler's identity for even zeta…

We represent the Riemann zeta function in the half-plane $\Re s >1$ via series whose terms admit geometrically decreasing bounds. Due to an underlying recurrence relation, which is used to compute coefficients entering into the terms, the…

For k <= n, let E(2n,k) be the sum of all multiple zeta values with even arguments whose weight is 2n and whose depth is k. Of course E(2n,1) is the value of the Riemann zeta function at 2n, and it is well known that E(2n,2) = (3/4)E(2n,1).…
