The story exposed in this paper starts in 1978, when R. Apery [Ap] gave a surprising sequence of exercises demonstrating the irrationality of ζ(2) and ζ(3). (For a nice explanation of Apery’s discovery we refer to the review [Po].) Although the irrationality of the even zeta values ζ(2), ζ(4), . . . for that moment was a classical result (due to L. Euler and F. Lindemann), Apery’s proof allows one to obtain a quantitative version of his result, that is, to evaluate irrationality exponents:

### One of the Odd Zeta Values from ζ(5) to ζ(25) Is Irrational. By Elementary Means

Available proofs of result of the type "at least one of the odd zeta values $\zeta(5),\zeta(7),\dots,\zeta(s)$ is irrational" make use of the saddle-point method or of linear independence criteria,

### Irrationality of some p-adic L-values

We give a proof of the irrationality of the p -adic zeta-values ζ p ( k ) for p = 2 , 3 and k = 2 , 3. Such results were recently obtained by F.Calegari as an application of overconvergent p -adic

### Irrationality of some p-adic L-values

We give a proof of the irrationality of p-adic zeta-values ζp(k) for p = 2,3 and k = 2, 3. Such results were recently obtained by Calegari as an application of overconvergent p-adic modular forms. In

### On the irrationality measure for a q-analogue of ζ(2)

A Liouville-type estimate is proved for the irrationality measure of the quantities ζq(2) = ∞ ∑ n=1 q (1− qn)2 with q−1 ∈ Z \ {0,±1}. The proof is based on the application of a q-analogue of the

In this paper we generalize Nesterenko's criterion to the case where the small linear forms have an oscillating behaviour (for instance given by the saddle point method). This criterion provides both

Let ζ(s) be the Riemann zeta function. We prove the statement in the title, which improves a recent result of Rivoal and Zudilin by lowering 69 to 35. We also prove that at least one of β(2), β(4), .

### A Simple Proof that ζ(2) is Irrational

We prove that a partial sum of ζ(2) − 1 = z2 is not given by any single decimal in a number base given by a denominator of its terms. This result, applied to all partials, shows that there are an

1. Introduction. In his proof of the irrationality of ζ(3), Apéry [1] gave sequences of rational approximations to ζ(2) = π 2 /6 and to ζ(3) yielding the irrationality measures µ(ζ(2)) < 11.85078. ..
