Abstract:
The functional independence of zeta-functions is an interesting nowadays problem. This problem comes back to D. Hilbert. In 1900, at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris, he conjectured that the Riemman zeta-function does not satisfy any algebraic-differential equation. This conjecture was solved by A. Ostrowski. In 1975, S.M. Voronin proved the functional independence of the Riemann zeta-function. After that many mathematicians obtained the functional independence of certain zeta- and $L$-functions.
In the present paper, the joint functional independence of a collection consisting of the Riemann zeta-function and several periodic Hurwitz zeta-functions with parameters algebraically independent over the field of rational numbers is obtained. Such type of functional independence is called as “mixed functional independence” since the Riemann zeta-function has Euler product expansion over primes while the periodic Hurwitz zeta-functions do not have Euler product.
