Let $\zeta(s)$ be the Riemann zeta function. We prove the statement in the title, which improves a recent result of Rivoal and Zudilin by lowering $69$ to $35$. We also prove that at least one of $\beta(2),\beta(4),\ldots,\beta(10)$ is…

A lower bound for the dimension of the $\Q$-vector space spanned by special values of a Dirichlet series with periodic coefficients is given. As a corollary, it is deduced that both special values at even integers and at odd integers…

We investigate the values of the Riemann zeta function at odd integers and the Dirichlet beta function at even integers, by collecting several distinct analytic frameworks converging to these values, thus providing a unifying perspective.…

In a recent paper with Sprang and Zudilin, the following result was proved: if $a$ is large enough in terms of $\varepsilon>0$, then at least $2^{(1-\varepsilon)\frac{\log a}{\log \log a}}$ values of the Riemann zeta function at odd…

The proof of the irrationality of Zeta(5) is a long standing open problem, but here only the case of Zeta(4) = (Pi^4)/90 is considered. The present paper suggests an approach for the irrationality of Zeta(4) along the lines of those known…

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…

This note proves that the first odd zeta value does not have a closed form formula $\zeta(3)\ne r \pi^3$ for any rational number $r \in \mathbb{Q}$. Furthermore, assuming the irrationality of the second odd zeta value $\zeta(5)$, it is…

We prove the irrationality of the classical Dirichlet L-value $L(2,\chi_{-3})$. The argument applies a new kind of arithmetic holonomy bound to a well-known construction of Zagier. In fact our work also establishes the $\mathbf{Q}$-linear…

For any prime $p$ and $\varepsilon>0$ we prove that for any sufficiently large positive odd integer $s$ at least $(c_p-\varepsilon) \sqrt{\frac{s}{\log s}}$ of the $p$-adic zeta values $\zeta_p(3),\zeta_p(5),\dots,\zeta_p(s)$ are…

In this paper, we focus on a q-analogue of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers, which can be written for s\in\N^* by \zeta_q(s)=\sum_{k\geq 1}q^k\sum_{d|k}d^{s-1}. We give a new lower bound for the dimension of the vector space…

Using a polylogarithmic identity, we express the values of $\zeta$ at odd integers $2n+1$ as integrals over unit $n-$dimensional hypercubes of simple functions involving products of logarithms. We also prove a useful property of those…

We introduce a one-parameter family of series associated to the Riemann $\zeta$-function and prove that the values of the elements of this family at integers are linearly independent over the rationals for almost all values of the…

We give two generalizations, in arbitrary depth, of the symmetry phenomenon used by Ball-Rivoal to prove that infinitely many values of Riemann $\zeta$ function at odd integers are irrational. These generalizations concern multiple series…

We calculate zeta functions for certain orders of rank $3$ defined by standard integral table algebras and integral fusion rings that have irrational-valued irreducible characters. The calculations are obtained from explicit calculations of…

The knowledge on irrationality of p-adic zeta values has recently progressed. The irrationality of zeta_2(2), \zeta_2(3) and of a few other p-adic series of Dirichlet was obtained by F. Calegari. F. Beukers gave a more elementary proof of…

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 -…

The values of the Riemann zeta function at odd positive integers, $\zeta(2n+1)$, are shown to admit a representation proportional to the finite-part of the divergent integral $\int_0^{\infty} t^{-2n-1} \operatorname{csch}t\,\mathrm{d}t$.…

Defining a Beukers [1] like integral for $\zeta(5)$ as \begin{equation*} I_n:=\int_{(0,1)^5}\frac{(1-x_3)^n(1-x_4)^n P_n(x_1)P_n(x_2)}{1-(1-x_1x_2x_3x_4)x_5} \ dx_1dx_2dx_3dx_4dx_5 \end{equation*} we prove that for each $n\in\mathbb{N}$…

By using the generalized Bernoulli numbers, we deduce new integral representations for the Riemann zeta function at positive odd-integer arguments. The explicit expressions enable us to obtain criteria for the dimension of the vector space…

We study the values of the zeta-function of the root system of type $G_2$ at positive integer points. In our previous work we considered the case when all integers are even, but in the present paper we prove several theorems which include…
