The Stieltjes constants $\gamma_n(K)$ of a number field $K$ are the coefficients of the Laurent expansion of the Dedekind zeta function $\zeta_K(s)$ at its pole $s=1$. In this paper, we establish a similar expression of $\gamma_n(K)$ as…

We define a family {$\gamma(P)$} of generalized Euler constants indexed by finite sets of primes $P$ and study their distribution. These arise from partial sums of reciprocals of integers not divisible by any prime in $P$. An apparent…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $\omega$ be a primitive $p$th root of unity. In this paper, we introduce a metric on the cyclotomic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\omega)$. We prove that this metric has several remarkable properties, such as…

The classical Mertens' formula states that $ \prod_{p\le N}\big(1-\frac1p)^{-1}\sim e^\gamma\log N, $ where the product is over all primes $p$ less than or equal to $N$, and $\gamma$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant. By the Euler product…

This paper has two parts. The first part surveys Euler's work on the constant gamma=0.57721... bearing his name, together with some of his related work on the gamma function, values of the zeta function and divergent series. The second part…

The Stieltjes constants $\gamma_k(a)$ appear as the coefficients in the regular part of the Laurent expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,a)$ about $s=1$. We generalize the integral and Stirling number series results of [4] for…

Recently, A. I. Aptekarev and his collaborators found a sequence of rational approximations to Euler's constant $\gamma$ defined by a third-order homogeneous linear recurrence. In this paper, we give a new interpretation of Aptekarev's…

Let $$ T(q)=\sum_{k=1}^\infty d(k) q^k, \quad |q|<1, $$ where $d(k)$ denotes the number of positive divisors of the natural number $k$. We present monotonicity properties of functions defined in terms of $T$. More specifically, we proved…

We study a problem of finding good approximations to Euler's constant $\gamma=\lim_{n\to\infty}S_n,$ where $S_n=\sum_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{n}-\log(n+1),$ by linear forms in logarithms and harmonic numbers. In 1995, C. Elsner showed that slow…

In this paper, we continue to study properties of rational approximations to Euler's constant and values of the Gamma function defined by linear recurrences, which were found recently by A. I. Aptekarev and T. Rivoal. Using multiple…

We study generalizations of some results of Jean-Louis Nicolas regarding the relation between small values of Euler's function $\varphi(n)$ and the Riemann Hypothesis. Among other things, we prove that for $1\leq q\leq 10$ and for $q=12,…

We show that the Euler-Mascheroni constant $\gamma$ and Euler's number $e$ can both be represented as a product of a Riordan matrix and certain row and column vectors.

Theorem 1 Let F:N-->R stand for any function which a) $F$ monotonically weakly increases; b) $F$ tends to infinity; and c) such that $q/F(q)$ tends to infinity. Let Z_F(q) equal the number of divisors of q less than sqrt{F(q)} minus the…

The Euler-Kronecker constants related to congruences of Fourier coefficients of modular forms that have been computed so far, involve logarithmic derivatives of Dirichlet $L$-series as most complicated functions (to the best of our…

By modifying Beukers' proof of Apery's theorem that zeta(3) is irrational, we derive criteria for irrationality of Euler's constant, gamma. For n > 0, we define a double integral I(n) and a positive integer S(n), and prove that if d(n) =…

Kummer's Conjecture predicts the rate of growth of the relative class numbers of cyclotomic fields of prime conductor. We extend Kummer's Conjecture to cyclotomic fields of conductor n, where n is any natural number. We show that the…

Let $\vartheta(m)$ is number of nonzero coefficients in the $m$-th cyclotomic polynomial. For real $\gamma > 0$ and $x \ge 2$ we define $$H_{\gamma}(x)=\#\left\{m:~m=pq \le x, \ p<q\text{ primes }, \ \vartheta(m)\le m^{1/2+\gamma}\right\},…

We establish some new results about the $\Gamma$-limit, with respect to the $L^1$-topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations of the so-called Euler's Elastica Bending Energy for curves in the plane.
