On the algebraic differential independence of \(\Gamma\) and \(\zeta\) (Q6109725)

The authors extend earlier results concerning the problem of algebraic differential independence between the Riemann zeta function and the Euler gamma function. They introduce a general class of functions, which contains in particular the gamma function and some exponential type functions. In the proofs, a theorem of \textit{S. M. Voronin} [Proc. Steklov Inst. Math. 128, 153--175 (1972; Zbl 0294.10026); translation from Trudy Mat. Inst. Steklov 128, 131--150 (1972); Sov. Math., Dokl. 16, 410 (1975; Zbl 0326.10035); translation from Dokl. Akad. Nauk SSSR 221, 771 (1975)] related to the distribution of nonzero values of the zeta function is used, combined with some results of complex function theory, as the Cartan-Boutroux lemma (see \textit{H. Cartan} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (3) 45, 255--346 (1928; JFM 54.0357.06)]), or the classical Poisson-Jensen integral formula. The statements of exact results are too complicated to be stated here.
