riemannZeta k(fork ≥ 2) is the complexification of the real series∑' n : ℕ, 1 / ((n : ℝ) + 1) ^ k(riemannZeta_nat_eq_ofReal_tsum).ζ(2) = π ^ 2 / 6is irrational, byZeta32.irrational_pi_sq.- A rational relation
a + b ζ(2) + c ζ(3) = 0withc ≠ 0makesζ(3) - (-b / c) ζ(2) = -a / crational; withc = 0,b ≠ 0it makesζ(2)rational; withb = c = 0it forcesa = 0.
For k ≥ 2, riemannZeta k is the complexification of ∑' n, 1 / (n + 1) ^ k over ℝ.
ζ(2) = ∑' n, 1 / (n + 1) ^ 2 is irrational.
