Abstract

Let \(s,t,u \in {{\mathbb {C}}}\) and T(stu) be the Tornheim double zeta function. In this paper, we investigate some properties of symmetric Tornheim double zeta functions which can be regarded as a desingularization of the Tornheim double zeta function. As a corollary, we give explicit evaluation formulas or rapidly convergent series representations for T(stu) in terms of series of the gamma function and the Riemann zeta function.

Notes

  1. For example, on \(s+t=1\), the function \((2^{s+t}-2)\zeta (s+t)\) has a possible (not true) singularity and the function \((2^{s+t}-2) \zeta ^2(s+t)\) has a true (not possible) singularity. In general, it is not easy to determine whether singularities of multivariable (zeta) functions are true or not.

  2. they need some assumptions for \(x,y,z \in {{\mathbb {R}}}\) since T(stu) has the true singularities given by (1.2)

  3. To state the main theorems simpler, we use this notation.
