On multiple Hurwitz zeta-function values at rational arguments
The \(r\)-multiple Hurwitz zeta-function \(\zeta_r(s,\alpha)\) is for \(\text{Re}\,s>r\) defined by \[ \zeta_r(s,\alpha)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty {(r)_n\over n!}(n+\alpha)^{-s}, \] where \((r)_n\) denotes the Pochhammer symbol and \(\alpha\) is a positive real parameter; \(\zeta_r(s\alpha)\) is a special case of the Barnes multiple Hurwitz zeta-function introduced by Mellin. Entry 8 in Ramanujan's second notebook [\textit{B. C. Berndt} (ed.), Ramanujan's Notebooks. Part II (New York etc.: Springer) (1989; Zbl 0716.11001)] contains a formula which relates the value of the Riemann zeta-function \(\zeta_1(s,1)\) at \(s=1/2\) with the infinite series \(\sum_{n=1}^\infty (\exp(\tau n^2)-1)^{-1}\), where \(\tau\) is an arbitrary positive real number. Recently, \textit{M. Katsurada} [Acta Arith. 97, 157--172 (2001; Zbl 0972.11080)] proved a Ramanujan-type formula for \(\zeta_r(1/2,\alpha)\). In the present paper the authors obtain a similar closed form evaluation of the multiple Hurwitz zeta-function at all positive rational points of the form \(b/(2N)\) in the open unit interval, where \(b\) is an odd and \(N\) is an arbitrary integer; unfortunately, this remarkable expression is too complicated to be given here. The method of proof differs from Katsurada's approach. First of all a similar formula is proved for the ordinary Hurwitz zeta-function \(\zeta_1(s,\alpha)\) at all negative rational points \(b/a\) with \(a\) even and \(b\) odd. Using a representation of \(\zeta_r(s,\alpha)\) in terms of the Hurwitz zeta-function, this implies the formula in question. The approach in the present paper also applies to the Hurwitz-Lerch zeta-function as well as to \(\chi\)-analogues.
