The Riemann zeta function is the function of one complex variable $s$ defined by the series $\zeta(s) = \sum_{n \geq 1} \frac{1}{n^s}$ when $\operatorname{Re}(s)>1$. It admits a meromorphic continuation to $\mathbb{C}$ with only a simple pole at $1$. This function satisfies a functional equation relating the values at $s$ and $1-s$. This is the most simple example of an $L$-function and a central object of number theory.

A kind of reflection formula for the logarithmic derivative of the zeta function
So I was messing around with Bernoulli numbers and values of $\zeta'$ at integers $-$ and suddenly I came about a non trivial identity which can be written in terms of the logarithmic derivative of th …

Order of magnitude of extremely abundant numbers and RH
I have always been intrigued by the fact that Riemann's hypothesis is equivalent to the assertion (you can find the scanned paper here) that the inequality $$\frac{\sigma(n)}n<e^\gamma \log\log n \qq …

Is there a closed form for $\int_0^\infty\frac{\tanh^3(x)}{x^2}dx$?
For $n\geqslant m>1$, the integral $$I_{n,m}:=\int\limits_0^\infty\dfrac{\tanh^n(x)}{x^m}dx$$ converges. If $m$ and $n$ are both even or both odd, we can use the residue theorem to easily evaluate it …

Why these surprising proportionalities of integrals involving odd zeta values?
Inspired by the well known $$\int_0^1\frac{\ln(1-x)\ln x}x\mathrm dx=\zeta(3)$$ and the integral given here (writing $\zeta_r:=\zeta(r)$ for easier reading)$$\int_0^1\frac{\ln^3(1-x)\ln x}x\mathrm dx= …

How to prove that $\int _0^\infty\frac{\text{arcsinh}^nx}{x^m}dx$ is a rational combination ...
For $n\ge m\ge 2$, define $$I(n,m):= \int _0^\infty\dfrac{\text{arcsinh}^nx}{x^m}dx$$ Computer algebra systems say that the indefinite integral can be expressed in terms of polylog functions (of rapid …

Are these continued fractions for the "tails" of $\zeta(3)$ and of the Catalan constant known?
For polynomials $a=a(x)$ and $b=b(x)$, define the continued fraction $$f(a,b):=a(1)+ \lower 2pt\overset{\infty }{\underset{n=1}{\mathbb{\LARGE K}}}~\dfrac{b(n)}{a(n+1)}=a(1)+\cfrac{b(1)}{a(2) + \cfrac …

A new way of approaching the pole of the Riemann zeta function - and a new conjectured formula
On the Wolfram page about the Euler-Mascheroni Constant $\gamma $, the following amazing limit is given without proof (referring to "personal communication"):
$$\lim_{z\to\infty}\left[\zeta(\zeta(z)) …

Is there a closed form of $\int_0^\frac12\dfrac{\text{arcsinh}^nx}{x^m}dx$?
For naturals $n\ge m$, define
$$I(n,m):=\int_0^\frac12\dfrac{\text{arcsinh}^nx}{x^m}dx$$
with $\text{arcsinh}\ x=\ln(x+\sqrt{1+x^2} )$, so $\text{arcsinh} \frac12=\ln \frac{\sqrt{5}+1}2 $.
Is it poss …

Representations of $\zeta(3)$ as continued fractions involving cubic polynomials
$\zeta(3)$ has at least two well-known representations of the form $$\zeta(3)=\cfrac{k}{p(1) - \cfrac{1^6}{p(2)- \cfrac{2^6}{ p(3)- \cfrac{3^6}{p(4)-\ddots } }}},$$
where $k\in\mathbb Q$ and $p$ is a …

Are these two new ways of representing odd zeta values as integrals known?
This is inspired by the same beautiful integral expression for $\zeta(3)$ as this question, but goes in a slightly different direction. Writing the original integral in the form $$\int_0^1\frac{x(1-x) …
