Many p-adic odd zeta values are irrational

Abstract: For any prime

p

and

v a r e p s i l o n > 0

we prove that for any sufficiently large positive odd integer

s

at least

(c_{p} - v a r e p s i l o n) s q r t f r a c s l o g s

of the

p

-adic zeta values

z e t a_{p} (3), z e t a_{p} (5), d o t s, z e t a_{p} (s)

are irrational. The constant

c_{p}

is positive and does only depend on

p

. This result establishes a

p

-adic version of the elimination technique used by Fischler--Sprang--Zudilin and Lai--Yu to prove a similar result on classical zeta values. The main difficulty consists in proving the non-vanishing of the resulting linear forms. We overcome this problem by using a new irrationality criterion.
