A class of transcendental numbers with explicit g-adic expansion and the Jacobi-Perron algorithm

Jun-ichi Tamura (1992)

Acta Arithmetica

In this paper, we give transcendental numbers φ and ψ such that (i) both φ and ψ have explicit g-adic expansions, and simultaneously, (ii) the vector t ( φ , ψ ) has an explicit expression in the Jacobi-Perron algorithm (cf. Theorem 1). Our results can be regarded as a higher-dimensional version of some of the results in [1]-[5] (see also [6]-[8], [10], [11]). The numbers φ and ψ have some connection with algebraic numbers with minimal polynomials x³ - kx² - lx - 1 satisfying (1.1) k ≥ l ≥0, k + l ≥ 2 (k,l...

Arithmetic of linear forms involving odd zeta values

Wadim Zudilin (2004)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

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 ζ ( 2 ) and ζ ( 3 ) , as well as to explain Rivoal’s recent result on infiniteness of irrational numbers in the set of odd zeta values, and to prove that at least one of the four numbers ζ ( 5 ) , ζ ( 7 ) , ζ ( 9 ) , and ζ ( 11 ) is irrational.
