A generalization of the Euler gamma function (Q883620)

Considering the regularized Weierstrass product \[ F_{\beta}(z)=\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(1+\frac{z}{n^{\beta}}\right)e^{\sum_{j\leq\frac{1}{\beta}} \frac{(-1)^j}{j}\frac{z^j}{n^{j\beta}}}, \] where \(\beta\) is a positive real, the author defines \(\Gamma_{\beta}(z)\) as a generalization of the Euler gamma function by \(\frac{1}{\Gamma_{\beta}(z)}=ze^{\gamma_{\beta}z}F_{\beta}(z)\), with \(\gamma_{\beta}=-\log F_{\beta}(1)\). The aim of present paper is announcing some properties of this generalization of the Euler gamma function (as the author mentions, details and complete proofs will be published elsewhere). The relation \(\Gamma_{\beta}(iz)\Gamma_{\beta}(-iz)=e^{\gamma_{2\beta} z^2}\Gamma_{2\beta}(z^2)\) is one of the main announced properties, and another one is \[ \left(1-\frac{x}{z}\right)e^{-\gamma_{\beta}x}\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(1-\frac{x}{n^{\beta}+z}\right) =\frac{\Gamma_{\beta}(z)}{\Gamma_{\beta}(z-x)}, \] which holds for every \(\beta>1\). Also, the Taylor series of \(\log\Gamma_{\beta}(z)\) for small \(z\) and the asymptotic expansion of it for large \(z\) with \(\arg(z)\neq 0\) are obtained. Finally, the author notes that the constant \(\gamma_{\beta}\) is a natural generalization of the Euler constant \(\gamma=\gamma_1\), and gives \[ \gamma_{\beta}=\sum_{k>\frac{1}{\beta}}\frac{(-1)^k}{k}\zeta(\beta k)=-\lim_{z\rightarrow 0}\frac{d}{dz}\log z\Gamma_{\beta}(z)=-\lim_{z\rightarrow 0}\left(\frac{d}{dz}\log\Gamma_{\beta}(z)+\frac{1}{z}\right). \]
