Linear independence of 1, $\mathrm{Li}_1$ and $\mathrm{Li}_2$

Georges Rhin and Carlo Viola

Vol. 8 (2019), No. 1, 81–96
DOI: 10.2140/moscow.2019.8.81
Abstract

We improve and extend the irrationality results proved by the authors (Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci. (5) 4:3 (2005), 389–437) for dilogarithms of positive rational numbers to results of linear independence over of 1, Li1(x) and Li2(x) for suitable x , both for x > 0 and for x < 0.

Keywords
polylogarithms, linear independence measures, permutation group method, saddle-point method in $\mathbb{C}^2$
