Analytic number theory and approximation
In this course we will cover some aspects of analytic number theory, in particular rational approximation of irrational numbers, irrationality proofs and transcendence proofs. Quite often theExpand

An essay on irrationality measures of pi and other logarithms
We present a brief survey of the methods used in deducing upper estimates for irrationality measures of the logarithm values. We particularly expose the best known estimates for $\log2$ (due to E.Expand

Building upon previous works of Andr{e} and Chudnovsky, we prove a general result concerning the approximations of values at rational points a/b of any G-function F with rational Taylor coefficientsExpand
Approximation of values of the Gauss hypergeometric function by rational fractions
AbstractWe consider a new approach to estimating the irrationality measure of numbers that are values of the Gauss hypergeometric function. Some of the previous results are improved, in particular,Expand

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), .Expand
Irrationality of ζ q ( 1 ) and ζ q ( 2 ) ⋆
In this paper we show how one can obtain simultaneous rational approximants for ζq(1) and ζq(2) with a common denominator by means of Hermite-Padé approximation using multiple little q-JacobiExpand

A Lower Bound for Rational Approximations to π
Abstract We give a sharp lower bound for rational approximations to π by modifying the classical approximation formula to the system {(log(1 − x )) j } 1 ≤ j ≤ K due to Hermite. In fact, it will heExpand
