This paper presents a new approach to evaluating the special values of the Dirichlet beta function, $\beta(2k+1)$, where $k$ is any nonnegative integer. Our approach relies on some properties of the Euler numbers and polynomials, and uses…

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…

We provide a lower bound for the dimension of the vector space spanned by 1 and by the values of the Riemann Zeta function at the first odd integers. As a consequence, the Zeta function takes infinitely many irrational values at odd…

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…

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…

First idea is to compute a quantity like the angular momentum with respect to (0, 0), of an unitary mass of coordinates (<[Xi(s)], =[Xi(s)]) while =[s] is the time, and, <[s] = constant. If we impose that the derivative along <[s], at…

In this paper, we find rational zeta series with $\zeta(2n)$ in terms of $\zeta(2k+1)$ and $\beta(2k)$, the Dirichlet beta function. We then develop a certain family of generalized rational zeta series using the generalized Clausen function…

In this paper, we establish the irrationality of some open problems in mathematics based on using a recursive formula that generate the complete sequence of numbers. see [1] But before getting into that we begin with some Ramanujan notable…

Kummer (1851) and, many years later, Ihara (2005) both posed conjectures on invariants related to the cyclotomic field $\mathbb Q(\zeta_q)$ with $q$ a prime. Kummer's conjecture concerns the asymptotic behaviour of the first factor of the…

We prove non-trivial lower bounds for sums of type $\sum_{p\sim P}g(\gamma\Log p)$, where $g$ is a non-negative $2\pi$-periodical function and $\gamma$ is a given parameter. As an application we prove that $\zeta(1+it)^{\pm1}\ll\Log\Log…

New expansions for some functions related to the Zeta function in terms of the Pochhammer's polynomials are given (coefficients b(k), d(k), d_(k) and d__(k). In some formal limit our expansion b(k) obtained via the alternating series gives…

In this note, we show that the values of integrals of the log-tangent function with respect to any square-integrable function on $\left[0 , \frac{\pi}{2} \right]$ may be determined by a finite or infinite sum involving the Riemann…

Let b > 1 be an integer and denote by s_b(m) the sum of the digits of the positive integer m when is written in base b. We prove that s_b(n!) > C_b log n log log log n for each integer n > e, where C_b is a positive constant depending only…

For a nonzero integer $a$ let ${E_n^{(a)}}$ be given by $\sum_{k=0}^{[n/2]}\binom n{2k}a^{2k}E_{n-2k}^{(a)}=(1-a)^n$ $(n=0,1,2,...)$, where $[x]$ is the greatest integer not exceeding $x$. As $E_n^{(1)}=E_n$ is the Euler number, $E_n^{(a)}$…

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…
