Milnor, motivated by a work of P. Chowla and S. Chowla, formulated a conjecture about linear independence of some special Hurwitz zeta values over the field of rational numbers. In [7,8], Gun, et al. derived non-trivial lower bounds of the dimension of the space generated by these Hurwitz zeta values over certain family of number fields. This they did by working with a natural subspace. In this note, we study the dimensions of these canonical subspaces over any arbitrary number field.

Abstract


Milnor, motivated by a work of P. Chowla and S. Chowla, formulated a conjecture about linear independence of some special Hurwitz zeta values over the field of rational numbers. In [7,8], Gun, et al. derived non-trivial lower bounds of the dimension of the space generated by these Hurwitz zeta values over certain family of number fields. This they did by working with a natural subspace. In this note, we study the dimensions of these canonical subspaces over any arbitrary number field.
