Higher Mahler measure of an n-variable family

Matilde N. Lalín, Jean-Sébastien Lechasseur (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

We prove formulas for the k-higher Mahler measure of a family of rational functions with an arbitrary number of variables. Our formulas reveal relations with multiple polylogarithms evaluated at certain roots of unity.

Horizontal monotonicity of the modulus of the zeta function, L-functions, and related functions

Yu. Matiyasevich, F. Saidak, P. Zvengrowski (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

As usual, let s = σ + it. For any fixed value of t with |t| ≥ 8 and for σ < 0, we show that |ζ(s)| is strictly decreasing in σ, with the same result also holding for the related functions ξ of Riemann and η of Euler. The following inequality related to the monotonicity of all three functions is proved: ℜ (η'(s)/η(s)) < ℜ (ζ'(s)/ζ(s)) < ℜ (ξ'(s)/ξ(s)). It is also shown that extending the above monotonicity result for |ζ(s)|, |ξ(s)|, or |η(s)| from σ <...

Integrals of logarithmic and hypergeometric functions

Anthony Sofo (2016)

Communications in Mathematics

Integrals of logarithmic and hypergeometric functions are intrinsically connected with Euler sums. In this paper we explore many relations and explicitly derive closed form representations of integrals of logarithmic, hypergeometric functions and the Lerch phi transcendent in terms of zeta functions and sums of alternating harmonic numbers.

Irrationalité de valeurs de zêta

Stéphane Fischler (2002/2003)

Séminaire Bourbaki

Les valeurs aux entiers pairs (strictement positifs) de la fonction ζ de Riemann sont transcendantes, car ce sont des multiples rationnels de puissances de π . En revanche, on sait très peu de choses sur la nature arithmétique des ζ ( 2 k + 1 ) , pour k 1 entier. Apéry a démontré en 1978 que ζ ( 3 ) est irrationnel. Rivoal a prouvé en 2000 qu’une infinité de ζ ( 2 k + 1 ) sont irrationnels, mais sans pouvoir en exhiber aucun autre que ζ ( 3 ) . Il existe plusieurs points de vue sur la preuve d’Apéry ; celui des séries hypergéométriques...
