This paper presents a complete formal verification of a proof that the evaluation of the Riemann zeta function at 3 is irrational, using the Coq proof assistant. This result was first presented by Ap\'ery in 1978, and the proof we have…

Wiles' work on Fermat's last Theorem highlighted the power of $p$-adic methods to prove the existence of analytic continuations of $\zeta$ and $L$ functions. These methods have become considerably more sophisticated in recent years, and…

We present several results on the number of irrational and linear independent values among $\zeta(s),\zeta(s+2),...,\zeta(s+2n)$, where $s>2$ is an odd integer and $n>0$ is an integer. The main tool in our proofs is a certain generalization…

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…

We found, by Hurwitz's Zeta Function, a new functional equation for Riemann Zeta Function. Considering this equation for $s=2$ and $s=1$, we determine a relation between the values of Riemann zeta Function on positive integers. The Matrix…

The cyclotomic $p$-adic multi-zeta values are the $p$-adic periods of $\pi_{1}(\mathbb{G}_{m} \setminus \mu_{M},\cdot),$ the unipotent fundamental group of the multiplicative group minus the $M$-th roots of unity. In this paper, we compute…

This paper completes the construction of $p$-adic $L$-functions for unitary groups. More precisely, in 2006, the last three named authors proposed an approach to constructing such $p$-adic $L$-functions (Part I). Building on more recent…

In this note we propose a new construction of cyclotomic p-adic L-functions attached to classical modular cuspidal eigenforms. This allows us to cover most known cases to date and provides a method which is amenable to generalizations to…

We prove an interpolation formula for the values of certain $p$-adic Rankin--Selberg $L$-functions associated to non-ordinary modular forms.

We construct an Euler system of $p$-adic zeta elements over the eigencurve which interpolates Kato's zeta elements over all classical points. Applying a big regulator map gives rise to a purely algebraic construction of a two-variable…

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…

In the 1980s, Koecher and, independently, Leshchiner found an elegant formula for the generating function of odd zeta values. In this short note, we derive a $q$-analogue of this formula, which provides a $q$-version of the accelerated…

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…

Given a finite abelian $p$-group $F$, we prove an efficient recursive formula for $\sigma_a(F)=\sum_{\substack{H\leq F}}|H|^a$ where $H$ ranges over the subgroups of $F$. We infer from this formula that the $p$-component of the…

In this small note, we provide an elementary proof of the fact that infinitely many odd zeta values are irrational. For the first time, this celebrated theorem been proven by Rivoal and Ball--Rivoal. The original proof uses highly…

In this article, we introduce congruential Euler numbers, which are a further generalization of generalized Euler numbers. We prove the $p$-adic congruences of congruential Euler numbers, which include answers to a conjecture related to…

We obtain lower bounds of the correct order of magnitude for the 2k-th moment of the Riemann zeta function for all k > 1. Previously such lower bounds were known only for rational values of k, with the bounds depending on the height of the…

Bertolini-Darmon and Mok proved a formula of the second derivative of the two-variable $p$-adic $L$-function of a modular elliptic curve over a totally real field along the Hida family in terms of the image of a global point by some…

There are only aleph-zero rational numbers, while there are 2 to the power aleph-zero real numbers. Hence the probability that a randomly chosen real number would be rational is 0. Yet proving rigorously that any specific, natural, real…

In 1982, Gessel showed that the Ap\'ery numbers associated to the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$ satisfy Lucas congruences. Our main result is to prove corresponding congruences for all sporadic Ap\'ery-like sequences. In several cases, we are…
