In this note, we prove that for all $x \in (0 , 1)$, we have: $$ \log\Gamma(x) = \frac{1}{2} \log\pi + \pi \boldsymbol{\eta} \left(\frac{1}{2} - x\right) - \frac{1}{2} \log\sin(\pi x) + \frac{1}{\pi} \sum_{n = 1}^{\infty} \frac{\log n}{n}…

Using some basic properties of the gamma function, we evaluate a simple class of infinite products involving Dirichlet characters as a finite product of gamma functions and, in the case of odd characters, as a finite product of sines. As a…

Letting $(t_n)$ denote the Thue-Morse sequence with values $0, 1$, we note that the Woods-Robbins product $$ \prod_{n \geq 0} \left(\frac{2n+1}{2n+2}\right)^{(-1)^{t_n}} = 2^{-1/2} $$ involves a rational function in $n$ and the $\pm 1$…

In this paper, we introduce an analog of Gauss sums over function fields in positive characteristic. We establish several fundamental properties, including reflection formula, Stickelberger's theorem, and Hasse-Davenport relations. In…

We study analytic and arithmetic properties of the elliptic gamma function $$ \prod_{m,n=0}^\infty\frac{1-x^{-1}q^{m+1}p^{n+1}}{1-xq^mp^n}, \qquad |q|,|p|<1, $$ in the regime $p=q$; in particular, its connection with the elliptic…

We consider products of $q$-gamma functions with rational arguments, and prove several $q$-generalizations of recent works concerning products of gamma functions. In particular, we consider products indexed by Dirichlet characters, and…

Let G be a finite group and let M be a G-manifold. We introduce the concept of generalized orbifold invariants of M/G associated to an arbitrary group Gamma, an arbitrary Gamma-set, and an arbitrary covering space of a connected manifold…

Euler's transformation formula for the Gauss hypergeometric function 2F1 is extended to hypergeometric functions of higher order. Unusually, the generalized transformation constrains the hypergeometric function parameters algebraically but…

Let $G$ be the multiplicative group generated by the gamma functions $\Gamma(ax+1)$ $(a=1,2,\dots)$, and $H$ be the subgroup of all elements of $G$ that converge to nonzero constants as $x\rightarrow\infty$. The quotient group $G/H$ is the…

We give a definition of generalized hypergeometric functions over finite fields using modified Gauss sums, which enables us to find clear analogy with classical hypergeometric functions over the complex numbers. We study their fundamental…

We develop a formal group--theoretic framework for the Riemann zeta function by treating its Euler product as an element of the multiplicative formal group $\widehat{\mathbb{G}}_m$ and its logarithm as the associated formal group logarithm.…

In 1922, Harald Bohr and Johannes Mollerup established a remarkable characterization of the Euler gamma function using its log-convexity property. A decade later, Emil Artin investigated this result and used it to derive the basic…

We define an axiomatic class of L-functions extending the Selberg class. We show in particular that one can recast the traditional conditions of an Euler product, analytic continuation and functional equation in terms of distributional…

We define an absolutely convergent series for the upper incomplete Gamma function $\Gamma(s,z)$ for $z\geq 1$ and $s\in \mathbb{C}$. We express this series using certain polynomials which we define using the Stirling numbers of the first…
