Algebra Seminar
Time: 14:40
Speaker: Chester Weatherby (Queen's)
Title: "Special values of the gamma function"
Room: MC 107

Abstract: Little is known about the transcendence of special values of the Gamma function at rational points. In this talk we examine the Gamma function at points from an imaginary quadratic field. As a corollary of our analysis, we gain knowledge about values of infinite products of rational functions.
