The structure of Bernoulli numbers

摘要

We conjecture that the structure of Bernoulli numbers can be explicitly given in the closed form Bn=(1)n21p1nnp1(p,l)Ψ1irrnl\modsp1p(χ(p,l)nlp1)p1p1np1 B_n = (-1)^{\frac{n}{2}-1} \prod_{p-1 \nmid n} |n|_p^{-1} \prod\limits_{(p,l)\in\Psi^{\rm irr}_1 \atop n \equiv l \mods{p-1}} |p (\chi_{(p,l)} - {\textstyle \frac{n-l}{p-1}})|_p^{-1} \prod\limits_{p-1 \mid n} p^{-1} where the χ(p,l)\chi_{(p,l)} are zeros of certain pp-adic zeta functions and Ψ1irr\Psi^{\rm irr}_1 is the set of irregular pairs. The more complicated but improbable case where the conjecture does not hold is also handled; we obtain an unconditional structural formula for Bernoulli numbers. Finally, applications are given which are related to classical results.
