Special values of derivatives of L-series and generalized Stieltjes constants

Abstract: The connection between derivatives of

L (s, f)

for periodic arithmetical functions

f

at

s = 1

and generalized Stieltjes constants has been noted earlier. In this paper, we utilize this link to throw light on the arithmetic nature of

L^{'} (1, f)

and certain Stieltjes constants. In particular, if

p

is an odd prime greater than

7

, then we deduce the transcendence of at least

(p - 7) / 2

of the generalized Stieltjes constants,

g a m m a_{1} (a, p) : 1 l e q a < p

, conditional on a conjecture of S. Gun, M. R. Murty and P. Rath.
