We consider iterated integrals of $\log\zeta(s)$ on certain vertical and horizontal lines. Here, the function $\zeta(s)$ is the Riemann zeta-function. It is a well known open problem whether or not the values of the Riemann zeta-function on…
In this paper, we study some Euler-Ap\'ery-type series which involve central binomial coefficients and (generalized) harmonic numbers. In particular, we establish elegant explicit formulas of some series by iterated integrals and…
The Stieltjes constants $\gamma_k(a)$ appear as the coefficients in the regular part of the Laurent expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,a)$ about $s=1$. We present the evaluation of $\gamma_1(a)$ and $\gamma_2(a)$ at rational…
Under the Riemann Hypothesis, we prove for any natural number $r$ there exist infinitely many large natural numbers $n$ such that $(\gamma_{n+r}-\gamma_n)/(2\pi /\log \gamma_n) > r + \Theta\sqrt{r}$ and $(\gamma_{n+r}-\gamma_n)/(2\pi /\log…
We show that if $F(s)$ is a nondegenerate ordinary Dirichlet series with nonnegative coefficients and $F(k)$ is a rational number for all large enough positive integers $k$, then the denominators of those rational numbers are unbounded. In…
Let $G(n)=\sigma (n)/(n \log \log n )$. Robin made hypothesis that $G(n)<e^\gamma$ for all integer $n>5040$. If there exists counterexample to Robin hypothesis, then there must exist finite number of counterexamples $n>5040$ such that…
The recent technique for estimating lower bounds of the prime counting function $\pi(x)=#\{p \leq x: p\text{ prime}\}$ by means of the irrationality measures $\mu(\zeta(s)) \geq 2$ of special values of the zeta function claims that $\pi(x)…
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…
We show that for integers $n$, whose ratios of consecutive divisors are bounded above by an arbitrary constant, the normal order of the number of prime factors is $C \log \log n$, where $C=(1-e^{-\gamma})^{-1} = 2.280...$ and $\gamma$ is…
Ingham (1940) proved that $N(\sigma,T)\ll T^{3(1-\sigma)/(2-\sigma)}\log^{5}{T}$, where $N(\sigma,T)$ counts the number of the non-trivial zeros $\rho$ of the Riemann zeta-function with $\Re\{\rho\}\geq\sigma\geq 1/2$ and $0<\Im\{\rho\}\leq…
Euler's gamma function is logarithmically convex on positive semi-axis. Additivity of logarithmic convexity implies that the function sum of gammas with non-negative coefficients is also log-convex. In this paper we investigate the series…
In this paper we give a variant of the Robin inequality which states that $\frac{\sigma(n)}{n} \leq \frac{e^\gamma}{2} \log\log n + \frac{0.7398\cdots}{\log\log n}$ for any odd integer $n \geq 3$.
In 1984, Robin showed that the Riemann Hypothesis for $\zeta$ is equivalent to demonstrating $\sigma(n) < e^\gamma n \log \log n$ for all $n > 5040$. Robin's inequality has since been proven for various infinite families of power-free…
The Euler-Mascheroni constant $\gamma=0.5772\dots\!$ is the $K=\mathbb{Q}$ example of an Euler-Kronecker constant $\gamma_K$ of a number field $K.$ In this note we consider the size of the $\gamma_q=\gamma_{K_q}$ for cyclotomic fields…
We introduce and study finite analogues of Euler's constant in the same setting as finite multiple zeta values. We define a couple of candidate values from the perspectives of a ``regularized value of $\zeta(1)$'' and of Mascheroni's and…
For any natural number $n$, let $X'_n$ be the set of primitive Dirichlet characters modulo $n$. We show that if the Riemann hypothesis is true, then the inequality $|X'_{2n_k}|\le C_2 e^{-\gamma} \phi(2n_k)/\log\log(2n_k)$ holds for all…
Denote by $\sigma_k(n)$ the sum of the $k$-th powers of the divisors of $n$, and let $S_k=\sum_{n\geq 1}\frac{\sigma_k(n)}{n!}$. We prove that Schinzel's conjecture H implies that $S_k$ is irrational, and give an unconditional proof for the…
A general hypergeometric construction of linear forms in (odd) zeta values is presented. The construction allows to recover the records of Rhin and Viola for the irrationality measures of $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$, as well as to explain…
Let f be a G-function (in the sense of Siegel), and x be an algebraic number; assume that the value f(x) is a real number. As a special case of a more general result, we show that f(x) can be written as g(1), where g is a G-function with…
For different values of $\gamma \geq 0$, analysis of the end behavior of the sequence $a_n = \cos (n)^{n^\gamma}$ yields a strong connection to the irrationality measure of $\pi$. We show that if $\limsup |\cos n|^{n^2} \neq 1$, then the…
