Well-poised hypergeometric service for diophantine problems of zeta values

Wadim Zudilin (2003)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

It is explained how the classical concept of well-poised hypergeometric series and integrals becomes crucial in studying arithmetic properties of the values of Riemann’s zeta function. By these well-poised means we obtain: (1) a permutation group for linear forms in 1 and ζ ( 4 ) = π 4 / 90 yielding a conditional upper bound for the irrationality measure of ζ ( 4 ) ; (2) a second-order Apéry-like recursion for ζ ( 4 ) and some low-order recursions for linear forms in odd zeta values; (3) a rich permutation group for a family...

Widom factors for the Hilbert norm

Gökalp Alpan, Alexander Goncharov (2015)

Banach Center Publications

Given a probability measure μ with non-polar compact support K, we define the n-th Widom factor W²ₙ(μ) as the ratio of the Hilbert norm of the monic n-th orthogonal polynomial and the n-th power of the logarithmic capacity of K. If μ is regular in the Stahl-Totik sense then the sequence ( W ² ( μ ) ) n = 0 has subexponential growth. For measures from the Szegő class on [-1,1] this sequence converges to some proper value. We calculate the corresponding limit for the measure that generates the Jacobi polynomials, analyze...
