Chowla–Milnor conjecture on linear independence of Hurwitz zeta values
Chowla–Milnor conjecture on linear independence of Hurwitz zeta values
For and , let denote the classical Hurwitz zeta function. For integers and , define
Chowla–Milnor conjecture. The set is linearly independent over . The conjecture is important because its consequences include conditional irrationality results for ratios of odd zeta values to powers of , and it also has connections with multiple zeta values. Its general status is not resolved in the supplied text.
