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) =…

In a spirit of Ap\'ery's proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$, we construct a sequence $p_n/q_n$ of rational approximations to the $2$-adic zeta value $\zeta_2(5)$ which satisfy $0 < |\zeta_2(5)-p_n/q_n|_2 <…

We study the topological zeta function Z_{top,f}(s) associated to a polynomial f with complex coefficients. This is a rational function in one variable and we want to determine the numbers that can occur as a pole of some topological zeta…

Let $k\geq 1$ be a small fixed integer. The rational approximations $\left |p/q-\pi^{k} \right |>1/q^{\mu(\pi^k)}$ of the irrational number $\pi^{k}$ are bounded away from zero. A general result for the irrationality exponent $\mu(\pi^k)$…

A new definition for the Riemann zeta function for all positive integer number s > 1 is presented. We discover a most elegant expression and easy method for calculating the Riemann zeta function for small even integer values. Through this…

In this article we prove an explicit sub-Weyl bound for the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ on the critical line $s = 1/2 + it$. In particular, we show that $|\zeta(1/2 + it)| \le 66.7\, t^{27/164}$ for $t \ge 3$. Combined, our results…

For positive integers $i_1,...,i_k$ with $i_1 > 1$, we define the multiple $t$-value $t(i_1,...,i_k)$ as the sum of those terms in the usual infinite series for the multiple zeta value $\zeta(i_1,...,i_k)$ with odd denominators. Like the…

We prove that the integer part of the reciprocal of the tail of $\zeta(s)$ at a rational number $s=\frac{1}{p}$ for any integer with $p \geq 5$ or $s=\frac{2}{p}$ for any odd integer with $p \geq 5$ can be described essentially as the…

We introduce a "resonance" method to produce large values of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ and large and small central values of $L$-functions.

Already in 1734 Euler found a short explicit formula for the value of Riemann zeta function Zeta(s) when the argument s equals a positive integer 2n where n=1,2,3,. No such formula exists for odd positive integer arguments of Zeta. The…

In this note we evaluate multiple integrals that play a crucial role in the theory of irrationality of zeta function

The alternating zeta function zeta*(s) = 1 - 2^{-s} + 3^{-s} - ... is related to the Riemann zeta function by the identity (1-2^{1-s})zeta(s) = zeta*(s). We deduce the vanishing of zeta*(s) at each nonreal zero of the factor 1-2^{1-s}…

By using the method of iterated integral representations of series, we establish some explicit relationships between multiple zeta values and Integrals of logarithmic functions. As applications of these relations, we show that multiple zeta…

In article, we explore the secondary zeta function $Z(s)$, which is defined as a generalized zeta type of series over imaginary parts of non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$. This function has been analytically…

We present an elementary proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(5)$ based upon the Dirichlet's approximation theorem and the Prime Number Theorem.

In this paper we deduce a lower bound for the rank of a family of $p$ vectors in $\R^k$ (considered as a vector space over the rationals) from the existence of a sequence of linear forms on $\R^p$, with integer coefficients, which are small…

We construct an analytic approach to evaluate odd Euler sums, multiple zeta value $\zeta(3,2,\ldots,2)$ and multiple $t$-value $t\left(3,2,\ldots,2\right)$. Moreover, we also conjecture a closed expression for multiple $t$-value…

In this paper we follow the approach of Bertrand-Beukers (and of later work of Bertrand), based on differential Galois theory, to prove a very general version of Shidlovsky's lemma that applies to Pad{\'e} approximation problems at several…

We study the behavior of $r$-fold zeta-functions of Euler-Zagier type with identical arguments $\zeta_r(s,s,\ldots,s)$ on the real line. Our basic tool is an "infinite'' version of Newton's classical identities. We carry out numerical…

The present paper is an evolution of the Mengoli's series to the set of rational numbers, which eventually will allow developing the summation, by limits, obtaining the value of zeta(2); problem which Mengoli himself was the first to…
