Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0694.00006.] \textit{F. Beukers} [Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 11, 268-272 (1979; Zbl 0421.10023)] betrachtete uneigentliche Integrale der Form \[ \int_ 0^ 1 \int_ 0^ 1{(-\log xy)^ k \over 1-xy} F_ n(x,y) dx dy\tag{*} \] mit geeignet gewählten \(F_ n\in\mathbb{Z}[x,y]\) für \(k=0\) bzw. \(k=1\) zum Irrationalitätsbeweis von \(\zeta(2)\) (\(=\pi^ 2/6\)) bzw. \(\zeta(3)\) und auch zur Gewinnung von Irrationalitätsmaßen dieser beiden Zahlen. Die Verfasser der vorliegenden Arbeit variieren den Beukersschen Ansatz durch aufwendigere Wahlen der \(F_ n\) und zeigen so: (1) Das Irrationalitätsmaß von \(\zeta(2)\) bzw. \(\zeta(3)\) ist höchstens 10,02979 bzw. 12,74359. (2) Wenn 1, \(\zeta(2)\) bzw. \(\zeta(3)\) über \(\mathbb{Q}\) linear abhängig sind, haben \(\zeta(2)\) und \(\zeta(3)\) ein Irrationalitätsmaß \(\leq7,04826\). Hierzu werden dreidimensionale Integrale des Typs (*) herangezogen. [Anmerkung: Hara hat inzwischen gezeigt, daß das Irrationalitätsmaß von \(\zeta(2)\) höchstens 7,5252 ist].
