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.

What is known about products of zeta values?

A couple of years ago, I asked this MSE question on the evaluation of the product of even zeta values: $$ \prod_{n=1}^\infty \zeta(2n) \approx 1.82 \quad .$$ While it can be shown that the product con …

Malmsten-like integrals for $\zeta(n) $

Context Let us define a Malmsten integral when it is of the form $$M_{P,Q} := \int_{0}^{1} \frac{P(x)}{Q(x)} \ln \ln \left( \frac{1}{x} \right) dx. \tag{1} $$ In a paper by Blagouchine [1], the author …

Are there variations of Ramaswami's formula for the analytic continuation of the Riemann zet...

On p. 286 of Borwein's paper entitled "Computational Strategies for the Riemann zeta function", the author mentions a formula due to Ramaswami: $$(1-2^{1-s})\zeta(s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \binom{s+n-1 …

How can collections of rational zeta series that are equal to $\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} (\zeta(n)...

It has been discovered long ago that $$\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \big(\zeta(n) - 1\big) = 1. \label{1} \tag{1} $$ More recently, a generalization of this result with binomial coefficients has been obtained: …

Is there any literature on $\sum_{i=1}^{k} \left[ {k \atop i} \right] \zeta(i+1) $?

As per these questions, I'm trying to evaluate $$\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \big{(} \zeta(n)^{2}-1 \big{)} = 1+ \sum_{m=2}^{\infty} \frac{H_{-\frac{1}{m}}}{m}. $$ Here, $H_{x}$ is a generalized Harmonic numb …

Are there any extensive treatments on rational zeta series?

I've been trying to find an extensive, in-depth treatment of rational zeta series. Via the Wikipedia article on the topic, I've found two articles on this subject. While they are certainly very inform …

What is known about sums of the form $\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}[\zeta(n)-1]^{p} $?

A fair bit is known about rational zeta series. This includes identities like $$ \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} [\zeta(n) -1] = 1 . $$ Many more identities can be found in articles by e.g. Borwein and Adamchik & …
