Milnor's linear independence conjecture for Hurwitz zeta values

About 4 years old · traced to

Let pp be a prime, let k>1k>1 be an integer, and let the Hurwitz zeta function be

ζ(s,x)=∑n=0∞1(n+x)s,\zeta(s,x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(n+x)^s},

for 0<x≤10<x\le1. Milnor's conjecture. The real numbers

ζ(k,1/p), ζ(k,2/p), …, ζ(k,(p−1)/p)\zeta(k,1/p),\ \zeta(k,2/p),\ \ldots,\ \zeta(k,(p-1)/p)

are linearly independent over Q\mathbb{Q}. This is presented as a reformulation of the Chowla–Chowla conjecture. Its status is not specified in the source.
