Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements. In this paper, we study the vanishing behavior of multizeta values over $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ at negative integers. These values are analogs of the classical multizeta values. At negative integers, they are series of products of power sums $S_d(k)$ which are polynomials in $t$. By studying the $t$-valuation of $S_d(s)$ for $s < 0$, we show that multizeta values at negative integers vanish only at trivial zeros. The proof is inspired by the idea of Sheats in the proof of a statement of "greedy element" by Carlitz.
We define and apply a method to study the non-vanishing of $p$-adic cyclotomic multiple zeta values. We prove the non-vanishing of certain cyclotomic multiple harmonic sums, and, via a formula proved in another paper, which expresses a cyclotomic multiple harmonic sums as an infinite sum of products of $p$-adic cyclotomic multiple zeta values, this implies the non-vanishing of certain $p$-adic cyclotomic multiple zeta values.
Orders of vanishing of zeros of zeta functions have much arithmetic information encoded in them. For the absolute zeta function, Dinesh Thakur gave sufficient conditions for the order of vanishing of its zeros when the finite field has two elements. Such conditions consider only principal ideals. This result was generalized by Thakur and Diaz-Vargas. Now the conditions involve not only the principal ideals but all the classes of ideals, still in the field of two elements. In this work, we generalize these results to arbitrary finite fields, using similar proofs of Thakur and Diaz-Vargas.
In this paper, we investigate the ``shuffle-type'' formula for special values of desingularized multiple zeta functions at integer points. It is proved by giving an iterated integral/differential expression for the desingularized multiple zeta functions at integer points.
In this paper, we provide an alternative method to calculate the values of generalized multiple Hurwitz zeta function at non-positive integers by means of \emph{Raabe}'s formula and the \textit{Bernoulli} numbers.
We give a result on the asymptotic behavior of the Hurwitz-Lerch multiple zeta functions near non-positive integer points by using the Apostol-Bernoulli polynomials. From this result, we can evaluate limit values at non-positive integer points.
We prove two theorems. Theorem 1 gives the meromorphic continuation of the multiple zeta function to the whole space. In Theorem 2, we prove asymptotic behavior near the non-positive integers.
Motivated by Euler-Goldbach and Shallit-Zikan theorems, we introduce zeta-one functions with infinite sums of $n^{s}\pm1$ as an analogy of the Riemann zeta function. Then we compute values of these functions at positive even integers by the residue theorem.
Symbolic computation techniques are used to derive some closed form expressions for an analytic continuation of the Euler-Zagier zeta function evaluated at the negative integers as recently proposed by B. Sadaoui. This approach allows to compute explicitly some contiguity identities, recurrences on the depth of the zeta values and generating functions.
We give new closed and explicit formulas for "multiple zeta values" at non-positive integers of generalized Euler-Zagier multiple zeta-functions. We first prove these formulas for a small convenient class of these multiple zeta-functions and then use the analyticity of the values on the parameters defining the multiple zeta-functions to deduce the formulas in the general case. Also, for our aim we prove an extension of "Raabe's lemma" due to E. Friedman and A. Pereira.
We give an instant evaluation of multiple Zeta function at non-positive integers by elementary methods and discuss the Fourier theory (on unit interval) of the product of Bernoulli polynomials.We also show that the polynomial expression for Hurwitz Zeta function(at non-positive integral values of the first variable) and the polynomial expression for Bernoulli polynomials are equivalent.
We show the recurrence relations of the Euler-Zagier multiple zeta-function which describes the $r$-fold function with one variable specialized to a non-positive integer as a rational linear combination of $(r-1)$-fold functions, which extends the previous results of Akiyama-Egami-Tanigawa and Matsumoto. As an application, we obtain an explicit method to calculate the special values of the multiple zeta-function at any integer point (the arguments could be neither all-positive nor all-non-positive) as a rational linear summation of the multiple zeta values.
Historically known as the Basel problem, evaluating the Riemann zeta function at two has resulted in numerous proofs, many of which have been generalized to compute the function's values at even positive integers. We apply Parseval's identity to the Bernoulli polynomials to find such values.
We study the behavior of partially twisted multiple zeta-functions. We give new closed and explicit formulas for special values at non-positive integer points of such zeta-functions. Our method is based on a result of M. de Crisenoy on the fully twisted case and the Mellin-Barnes integral formula.
We present a remarkably simple and surprisingly natural interpretation of the values of zeta functions at negative integers and zero. Namely we are able to relate these values to areas related to partial sums of powers. We apply these results to further interpretations of values of $L$-functions at negative integers. We hint in a very brief way at some expected connections of this work with other current efforts to understand the mysteries of the values of zeta functions at integers.
Using a summation identity obtained for the Fourier coefficients of $x^{2k}$, we derive a closed form expression for the zeta function at even positive integers, using a technique similar to one in an existing proof by Aladdi and Defant[1], but in a simpler and shorter way.
Euler discovered a formula for expressing the value of the Riemann zeta function for all even positive integer arguments. A closed-form expression for the Riemann zeta function for all odd integer arguments, based on the values of the Dirichlet beta function, euler numbers and pi, reveals a new evidence about the self-recursive nature of Riemann zeta function at odd integers. We demonstrate for the first time that the Riemann zeta function at odd integers always produces a recurrence relation that is self-recursive.
In this article, we introduce a recurrence formula which only involves two adjacent values of the Riemann zeta function at integer arguments. Based on the formula, an algorithm to evaluate $ζ$-values(i.e. the values of Riemann zeta function) at odd-integers from the two nearest $ζ$-values at even-integers is posed and proved. The behavior of the error bound is $O(10^{-n})$ approximately where $n$ is the argument. Our method is especially powerful for the calculation of Riemann zeta function at large argument, while for smaller ones it can also reach spectacular accuracies such as more than ten…
We give a new and very concise proof of the existence of a holomorphic continuation for a large class of twisted multivariable zeta functions. To do this, we use a simple method of "decalage" that avoids using an integral representation of the zeta function. This allows us to derive explicit recurrence {\it relations} between the values at $T-$tuples of negative integers. This also extends some earlier results of several authors where the underlying polynomials were products of linear forms.
This work is a study of $p$-adic multiple zeta values at roots of unity ($p$MZV$μ_{N}$'s), the $p$-adic periods of the crystalline pro-unipotent fundamental groupoid of $(\mathbb{P}^{1} - \{0,μ_{N},\infty\})/ \mathbb{F}_{q}$. The main tool is new objects which we call $p$-adic pro-unipotent harmonic actions. In this part IV we define and study $p$-adic analogues of some elementary complex analytic functions which interpolate multiple zeta values at roots of unity such as the multiple zeta functions. The indices of $p$MZV$μ_{N}$'s involve sequences of positive integers ; in this IV-1, by consid…
In this article, we study the local behaviour of the multiple zeta functions at integer points and write down a Laurent type expansion of the multiple zeta functions around these points. Such an expansion involves a convergent power series whose coefficients are obtained by a regularisation process, similar to the one used in defining the classical Stieltjes constants for the Riemann zeta function. We therefore call these coefficients {\it multiple Stieltjes constants}. The remaining part of the above mentioned Laurent type expansion is then expressed in terms of the multiple Stieltjes constan…
Recently, T. Kim considered Euler zeta function which interpolates Euler polynomials at negative integer (see [3]). In this paper, we study degenerate Euler zeta function which is holomorphic function on complex s-plane associated with degenerate Euler polynomials at negative integers.
New expressions are given for the Fourier expansions of non-holomorphic Eisenstein series with weight $k$. Among other applications, this leads to non-holomorphic analogs of formulas of Ramanujan, Grosswald and Berndt containing Eichler integrals of holomorphic Eisenstein series.
In this paper we provide a new series representation for the values of Riemann zeta function at integer arguments, namely: $ ζ(m)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{m(-1)^{n-1}Γ(1-ω_{m}n)...Γ(1-ω_{m}^{m-1}n)}{n!n^m}$, where $n$ is an integer that lager than $1$ and $ω$ is the $m$-th root of unity. This series converges quite fast. It's derived by some technique of infinite partial fraction decomposition. With this technique we also establish other useful formulas related to gamma function.
We study analytic properties of multiple zeta-functions of generalized Hurwitz-Lerch type. First, as a special type of them, we consider multiple zeta-functions of generalized Euler-Zagier-Lerch type and investigate their analytic properties which were already announced in our previous paper. Next we give `desingularization' of multiple zeta-functions of generalized Hurwitz-Lerch type, which include those of generalized Euler-Zagier-Lerch type, the Mordell-Tornheim type, and so on. As a result, the desingularized multiple zeta-function turns out to be an entire function and can be expressed as…
We study the values of the zeta-function of the root system of type $G_2$ at positive integer points. In our previous work we considered the case when all integers are even, but in the present paper we prove several theorems which include the situation when some of the integers are odd. The underlying reason why we may treat such cases including odd integers is also discussed.
Kaneko and Tsumura introduced a new kind of multiple zeta functions $η(k_1,\ldots,k_r;s_1,\ldots,s_r)$. This is an analytic function of complex variables $s_1,\ldots,s_r$, while $k_1,\ldots,k_r$ are non-positive integer parameters. In this paper, we first extend this function to an analytic function $η(s'_1,\ldots,s'_r;s_1,\ldots,s_r)$ of $2r$ complex variables. Then we investigate its special values at positive integers. In particular, we prove some linear relations among these $η$-values and the multiple zeta values $ζ(k_1,\ldots,k_r)$ of Euler-Zagier type.
It is commonly known that $ζ(2k) = q_{k}\frac{ζ(2k + 2)}{π^2}$ with known rational numbers $q_{k}$. In this work we construct recurrence relations of the form $\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty}r_{k}\frac{ζ(2k + 1)}{π^{2k}} = 0$ and show that series representations for the coefficients $r_{k} \in \mathbb{R}$ can be computed explicitly.
We give explicit expressions (or at least an algorithm of obtaining such expressions) of the coefficients of the Laurent series expansions of the Euler-Zagier multiple zeta-functions at any integer points. The main tools are the Mellin-Barnes integral formula and the harmonic product formulas. The Mellin-Barnes integral formula is used in the induction process on the number of variables, and the harmonic product formula is used to show that the Laurent series expansion outside the domain of convergence can be obtained from that inside the domain of convergence.
We prove that the integer part of the reciprocal of the tail of $ζ(s)$ at a rational number $s=\frac{1}{p}$ for any integer with $p \geq 5$ or $s=\frac{2}{p}$ for any odd integer with $p \geq 5$ can be described essentially as the integer part of an explicit quantity corresponding to it. To deal with the case when $s=\frac{2}{p},$ we use a result on the finiteness of integral points of certain curves over $\mathbb{Q}$.
We study the interplay between recurrences for zeta related functions at integer values, `Minor Corner Lattice' Toeplitz determinants and integer composition based sums. Our investigations touch on functional identities due to Ramanujan and Grosswald, the transcendence of the zeta function at odd integer values, the Li Criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis and pseudo-characteristic polynomials for zeta related functions. We begin with a recent result for ζ(2s) and some seemingly new Bernoulli relations, which we use to obtain a generalised Ramanujan polynomial and properties thereof.
Let $x$ be a complex number which has a positive real part, and $w_1,\ldots,w_N$ be positive rational numbers. We show that $w^s ζ_N (s, x \ |\ w_1,\ldots, w_N)$ can be expressed as a finite linear combination of the Hurwitz zeta functions over $\mathbb Q(x)$, where $ζ_N (s,x \ |\ w_1,\ldots, w_N)$ is the Barnes zeta function and $w$ is a positive rational number explicitly determined by $w_1,\ldots, w_N$. Furthermore, we give generalizations of Kummer's formula on the gamma function and Koyama-Kurokawa's formulae on the multiple gamma functions, and an explicit formula for the values at non-p…
For a number field $K$, let $ζ_{K}(s)$ be the Dedekind zeta function associated to $K$. In this note, we study non-vanishing and transcendence of $ζ_{K}$ as well as its derivative $ζ_{K}'$ at $s= 1/2$. En route, we strengthen a result proved by Ram Murty and Tanabe [On the nature of $e^γ$ and non-vanishing of $L$-series at $s= 1/2$, J. Number Theory 161 (2016) 444-456].
We study rather general multiple zeta-functions whose denominators are given by polynomials. The main aim is to prove explicit formulas for the values of those multiple zeta-functions at non-positive integer points. We first treat the case when the polynomials are power sums, and observe that some ``trivial zeros'' exist. We also prove that special values are sometimes transcendental. Then we proceed to the general case, and show an explicit expression of special values at non-positive integer points which involves certain period integrals. We give examples of transcendental values of those sp…
We introduce the unified double zeta function of Mordell--Tornheim type and compute its values at non-positive integer points. We then discuss a possible generalization of the Kaneko--Zagier conjecture for all integer points.
We provide a lower bound for the dimension of the vector space spanned by 1 and by the values of the Riemann Zeta function at the first odd integers. As a consequence, the Zeta function takes infinitely many irrational values at odd integers.
For these two decades, the Arakawa-Kaneko zeta function has been studied actively. Recently Kaneko and Tsumura constructed its variants from the viewpoint of poly-Bernoulli numbers. In this paper, we generalize their zeta functions of Arakawa-Kaneko type to those with indices in which positive and negative integers are mixed. We show that values of these functions at positive integers can be expressed in terms of the multiple Hurwitz zeta star values.
Using Euler transformation of series we relate values of Hurwitz zeta function at integer and rational values of arguments to certain rapidly converging series where some generalized harmonic numbers appear. The form of these generalized harmonic numbers carries information about the values of the arguments of Hurwitz function. In particular we prove: $\forall k\in \mathbb{N}:$ $ζ(k,1)\allowbreak =\allowbreak \frac{2^{k-1}}{2^{k-1}-1}% \sum_{n=1}^{\infty }\frac{H_{n}^{(k-1)}}{n2^{n}},$ where $H_{n}^{(k)}$ are defined below generalized harmonic numbers. Further we find generating function of th…
A new definition for the Riemann zeta function for all positive integer number s > 1 is presented. We discover a most elegant expression and easy method for calculating the Riemann zeta function for small even integer values. Through this new reformulation we provide a one-line proof of the value of zeta(2) and demonstrate that zeta(2s) may be calculated by hand using only the cotangent function when the magnitude of the integer s is small.
We compute the special values at nonpositive integers of the partial zeta function of an ideal of a real quadratic field applying an asymptotic version of Euler-Maclaurin formula to the lattice cone associated to the ideal considered. The Euler-Maclaurin formula involved is obtained by applying the Todd series of differential operators to an integral of a small perturbation of thecone. The additive property of Todd series w.r.t. the cone decomposition enables us to express the partial zeta values in terms of the continued fraction of the reduced element of the ideal. The expression obtained us…
In this paper, we generalize the partial fraction decomposition which is fundamental in the theory of multiple zeta values, and prove a relation between Tornheim's double zeta functions of three complex variables. As applications, we give new integral representations of several zeta functions, an extension of the parity result to the whole domain of convergence, concrete expressions of Tornheim's double zeta function at non-positive integers and some results for the behavior of a certain Witten's zeta function at each integer. As an appendix, we show a functional equation for Euler's double ze…
In this paper we give the q-extension of Euler numbers which can be viewed as interpolating of the q-analogue of Euler zeta function ay negative integers, in the same way that Riemann zeta function interpolates Bernoulli numbers at negative integers. Finally we woll treat some identities of the q-extension of the euler numbers by using fermionic p-adic q-integration on Z_p.
For Hurwitz zeta function, we obtain power series expression in second variable for its higher order derivatives (with respect to first variable) at non-positive integer arguments and consequently obtain rapidly decreasing series expression for Riemann zeta fuction at positive odd integer arguments. Further, we obtain corresponding results for Dirichlet L-series. We also a unified proof of various classical identities involving Riemann zeta values.
For $k\leq n$, let $E(mn,k)$ be the sum of all multiple zeta values of depth $k$ and weight $mn$ with arguments are multiples of $m\geq 2$. More precisely, $E(mn,k)=\sum_{|\boldsymbolα|=n}ζ(mα_1,mα_2,\ldots, mα_k)$. In this paper, we develop a formula to express $E(mn,k)$ in terms of $ζ(\{m\}^p)$ and $ζ^\star(\{m\}^q)$, $0\leq p,q\leq n$. In particular, we settle Genčev's conjecture on the evaluation of $E(4n,k)$ and also evaluate $E(mn,k)$ explicitly for small even $m\leq 8$.
Already in 1734 Euler found a short explicit formula for the value of Riemann zeta function Zeta(s) when the argument s equals a positive integer 2n where n=1,2,3,. No such formula exists for odd positive integer arguments of Zeta. The present paper discusses in particular the case of Zeta(3). A formula for Zeta(3) is obtained which in addition to a number of well known constants includes a rapidly converging infinite series, of which each term contains rational numbers and an even power of Pi. An attempt to convert this series into a finite number of terms containing commonly known constants …
We construct and study a certain zeta function which interpolates multi-poly-Bernoulli numbers at non-positive integers and whose values at positive integers are linear combinations of multiple zeta values. This function can be regarded as the one to be paired up with the $ξ$-function defined by Arakawa and the first-named author. We show that both are closely related to the multiple zeta functions. Further we define multi-indexed poly-Bernoulli numbers, and generalize the duality formulas for poly-Bernoulli numbers by introducing more general zeta functions.
It is known that the special values of multiple zeta functions at non-positive arguments are indeterminate in most cases due to the occurrences of infinitely many singularities. In order to give a suitable rigorous meaning of the special values there, Furusho, Komori, Matsumoto and Tsumura introduced the desingularized values by the desingularization method to resolve all singularities. While, Ebrahimi-Fard, Manchon and Singer introduced the renormalized values to keep the "shuffle" relation by the renormalization procedure à la Connes and Kreimer. In this paper, we reveal an equivalence, that…
We show for even positive integers $n$ that the quotient of the Riemann zeta values $ζ(n+1)$ and $ζ(n)$ satisfies the equation $$\frac{ζ(n+1)}{ζ(n)} = (1-\frac{1}{n}) (1-\frac{1}{2^{n+1}-1}) \frac{\mathcal{L}^\star(\mathfrak{p}_n)}{\mathfrak{p}_n'(0)},$$ where $\mathfrak{p}_n \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a certain monic polynomial of degree $n$ and $\mathcal{L}^\star: \mathbb{C}[x] \to \mathbb{C}$ is a linear functional, which is connected with a special Dirichlet series. There exists the decomposition $\mathfrak{p}_n(x) = x(x+1) \mathfrak{q}_n(x)$. If $n = p+1$ where $p$ is an odd prime, then $\math…
In this paper we refine Ball-Rivoal's theorem by proving that for any odd integer $a$ sufficiently large in terms of $ε>0$, there exist $[ \frac{(1-ε)\log a}{1+\log 2}]$ odd integers $s$ between 3 and $a$, with distance at least $a^ε$ from one another, at which Riemann zeta function takes $\Q$-linearly independent values. As a consequence, if there are very few integers $s$ such that $ζ(s)$ is irrational, then they are rather evenly distributed. The proof involves series of hypergeometric type estimated by the saddle point method, and the generalization to vectors of Nesterenko's linear indepe…
What is the product of all {\em odious} integers, i.e., of all integers whose binary expansion contains an odd number of $1$'s? Or more precisely, how to define a product of these integers which is not infinite, but still has a "reasonable" definition? We will answer this question by proving that this product is equal to $π^{1/4} \sqrt{2 φe^{-γ}}$, where $γ$ and $φ$ are respectively the Euler-Mascheroni and the Flajolet-Martin constants.
