    ON VALUES OF THE HIGHER DERIVATIVES OF THE BARNES

    ZETA FUNCTION AT NON-POSITIVE INTEGERS

    SHINPEI SAKANE AND MIHO AOKI

    Abstract. Let x be a complex number which has a positive real part, and w1, . . . , wNbe positive rational numbers. We write wsζN(s, x | w1, . . . , wN) as a finite linear combi-nation of the Hurwitz zeta function over Q(x), where ζN(s, x | w1, . . . , wN ) is the Barneszeta function and w is a positive rational number explicitly determined by w1, . . . , wN .Furthermore, in the case that x is a positive rational number, we give an explicit formulafor the values at non-positive integers for higher order derivatives of the Barnes zetafunction involving the generalized Stieltjes constants and the values at positive integersof the Riemann zeta function. At the end of the paper, we give some tables of numericalexamples.

    The Barnes zeta function [3, 4] is defined by the multiple Dirichlet series:

    ζN (s, x | w1, . . . , wN ) :=

    (x+ n1w1 + · · ·+ nNwN )s, Re(s) > N,

    where N is a positive integer and x,w1, . . . , wN are fixed complex number which havepositive real parts. The series on the right converges absolutely for Re(s) > N , and thefunction of s has a meromorphic continuation to the entire complex plane with simplepoles at s = 1, 2, . . . , N . For N = 1, we have ζ1(s, x | w) = w

    −sζ(s, x/w) where

    ζ(s, x) :=

    ∞∑

    n=0

    (n+ x)−s, Re(s) > 1

    is the Hurwitz zeta function.We put

    ),

    and let

    V (x) := 〈{ζ(s − k, y) | k ∈ Z≥0, y ∈ Q(x), Re(y) > 0}〉Q(x)

    be the vector space over the field Q(x) generated by the Hurwitz zeta functions. Koyamaand Kurokawa [8] generalized Kummer’s formula on the gamma function to the multiplegamma function ΓN (x) :=exp(ζ

    ′N (0, x)) by using some formulae for ζ

    ′N (s, x). In this paper,

    Lemma 1. Let w1 = r1/q1, . . . , wN = rN/qN (ri, qi ∈ Z>0 for i = 1, 2, . . . , N) be posi-tive rational numbers (gcd(ri, qi) = 1 is not necessary). For any common multiple q of

    Proposition 2. Let w1 = r1/q1, . . . , wN = rN/qN (ri, qi ∈ Z>0 for i = 1, 2, . . . , N) bepositive rational numbers with gcd(ri, qi) = 1 for i = 1, . . . , N and put

    w := lcm(r1, . . . , rN )/gcd(q1, . . . , qN ) (∈ Q),

    ℓ1 := w/w1, . . . , ℓN := w/wN . We have ℓ1, . . . , ℓN ∈ Z and

    ).

    Proof. We put q := lcm(q1, . . . , qN ) and ℓ := lcm(qw1, . . . , qwN ). It is enough to showq/ℓ = w−1 = gcd(q1, . . . , qN )/lcm(r1, . . . , rN ) from Lemma 1. To show the equality, wecheck ordp(ℓ gcd(q1, . . . , qN )) = ordp(q lcm(r1, . . . , rN )) for any prime number p, whereordp(a) (∈ Z) for a ∈ Q

    × is defined by

    a = pordp(a)c

    b, b, c ∈ Z, p ∤ b, p ∤ c.

    Let p be a prime number and ν (1 ≤ ν ≤ N) be an integer which satisfies ordp(wν) =max {ordp(w1), . . . , ordp(wN )}. Since ℓ = lcm(qw1, . . . , qwN ), we have

    ordp(ℓ) = max {ordp(qw1), . . . , ordp(qwN )}

    = ordp(q) + ordp(wν).(1)

  • THE HIGHER DERIVATIVES OF THE BARNES ZETA FUNCTION 3

    (i) Consider the case p|qν . From the assumption gcd(rν , qν) = 1, we have p ∤ rν , andhence

    max {ordp(w1), . . . , ordp(wN )} = ordp(wν) = −ordp(qν) < 0.

    It concludes that ordp(w1) < 0, . . . , ordp(wN ) < 0, that is, p ∤ r1, . . . , p ∤ rN and p|q1, . . . , p|qN .From these facts and (1), we have

    ordp(wν) = max {ordp(w1), . . . , ordp(wN )}

    = max {−ordp(q1), . . . ,−ordp(qN )}

    = −min {ordp(q1), . . . , ordp(qN )}

    = −ordp(gcd(q1, . . . , qN )),

    and

    ordp(ℓ gcd(q1, . . . , qN )) = ordp(ℓ) + ordp(gcd(q1, . . . , qN ))

    = ordp(q) + ordp(wν) + ordp(gcd(q1, . . . , qN ))

    = ordp(q)

    = ordp(q) + ordp(lcm(r1, . . . , rN ))

    = ordp(q lcm(r1, . . . , rN )).

    (ii) Consider the case p ∤ qν . If p|ri for some i, then p ∤ qi from gcd(ri, qi) = 1 and

    ordp(ri) = ordp(wi) ≤ max {ordp(w1), . . . ordp(wN )}

    = ordp(wν) = ordp(rν).

    Therefore, we have

    ordp(lcm(r1, . . . , rN )) = max {ordp(r1), . . . , ordp(rN )} = ordp(rν) = ordp(wν).

    From these facts and (1), we have

    ordp(ℓ gcd(q1, . . . , qN )) = ordp(ℓ) + ordp(gcd(q1, . . . , qN ))

    = ordp(ℓ) (since p ∤ qν .)

    = ordp(q) + ordp(wν)

    = ordp(q) + ordp(lcm(r1, . . . , rN ))

    = ordp(q lcm(r1, . . . , rN )).

    For a positive integer N , let CN (t) (∈ Z[t]) be the polynomial defined by

    CN (t) :=

    {

    1 (N = 1),

    (t+N − 1)(t+N − 2) · · · (t+ 1) (N ≥ 2),

    and put

    CN,x(t) := CN (t− x) ∈ (Z[x])[t]

    From Proposition 2 and Lemma 3, we get the following theorem and corollary.

    Theorem 4. Let x be a complex number which has a positive real part, w1 = r1/q1,. . . , wN = rN/qN (ri, qi ∈ Z>0 for i = 1, 2, . . . , N) positive rational numbers with gcd(ri, qi) =1 for i = 1, . . . , N and put

    w := lcm(r1, . . . , rN )/gcd(q1, . . . , qN ), ℓ1 := w/w1, . . . , ℓN := w/wN .

    Corollary 5. For positive rational numbers w1, . . . , wN , we have wsζN (s, x | w1, . . . , wN ) ∈

    V (x) := 〈{ζ(s − k, y) | k ∈ Z≥0, y ∈ Q(x), Re(y) > 0}〉Q(x).

    Proof. It is enough to show that H(s, u

    Finally we consider the value Γ(a)(m) for positive integers m. Coffey [6] pointed outthat the value is given by using the complete Bell polynomials Bn. For a positive integern, we define the complete Bell polynomial Bn = Bn(X1, . . . ,Xn) by

    ∞∑

    n!,

    and let B0 := 1 (see [7, Chap. III, §3.3]). It is known that these polynomials are integraland have the following explicit formulae.

    Lemma 11. ([7, Chap. III, §3.3, Theorem A]) Let n ≥ 1. We have Bn(X1, . . . ,Xn) ∈Z[X1, . . . ,Xn] and

    where

    π(n) := {(k1, k2, . . . , kn) ∈ Zn | k1, k2, . . . , kn ≥ 0, k1 + 2k2 + · · ·+ nkn = n}.

    We use Bn to give an explicit formula for the higher order derivatives of holomorphicfunctions.

    Lemma 12. ([6, p3, Lemma 1]) Let f(s) and g(s) be holomorphic functions on an opensubset D of C satisfying f ′(s) = f(s)g(s). We have

    f (n)(s)

    (

    :=

    (d

    )n

    f(s)

    )

    = f(s) Bn(g(s), g′(s), . . . , g(n−1)(s)).

    By applying Lemma 11 for the gamma function Γ(s) and the psi function ψ(s) :=Γ′(s)/Γ(s), we have

    Γ(n)(s) = Γ(s) Bn(ψ(s), ψ′(s), . . . , ψ(n−1)(s))

    Since

    Γ(1)=

    ∫ ∞

    0e−t log t dt = −γ,

    ψ(s + 1) =Γ′(s+ 1)

    On the other hand, the value ψ(n)(m) for n ≥ 1 is obtained as follows. From theWeierstrass factorization theorem of the gamma function:

    1

    Γ(s)= seγs

    ∞∏

    n=1
