Ap\'ery's theorem and problems for the values of Riemann's zeta function and their $q$-analogues
Abstrak
This monograph is intended to be considered as my habilitation (D.Sc.) thesis; because of that and as everything has already appeared in English, it is performed exclusively in Russian. The monograph comprises a detailed introduction and seven chapters that represent part of my work influenced by Ap\'ery's proof from 1978 of the irrationality of $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$, the values of Riemann's zeta function. Chapter 1 is about"at least one of the four numbers $\zeta(5)$, $\zeta(7)$, $\zeta(9)$ and $\zeta(11)$ is irrational"(based in part on arXiv:math.NT/0206176). Chapter 2 explains a connection between the generalized multiple integrals introduced by Beukers in his proof of Ap\'ery's result and the very-well-poised hypergeometric series; it is based on arXiv:math.CA/0206177. Chapter 3 surveys some arithmetic and hypergeometric $q$-analogies and establishes the irrationality measure $\mu(\zeta_q(2))0.5803^k$ for the distance from $(3/2)^k$ to the nearest integer, with the English version published in J. Th\'eor. Nombres Bordeaux 19 (2007), 313--325. Chapter 6 reproduces the solution (from arXiv:math.CA/0311195) to the problem of Asmus Schmidt about generalized Ap\'ery's numbers. Finally, Chapter 7 is about expressing the special $L$-values as periods (in the sense of Kontsevich and Zagier), in particular, as values of hypergeometric functions; it is based on the publication in Springer Proc. Math. Stat. 43 (2013), 381--395.
