Key Points

  • The goal is to study new Lambda functions at roots of unity and derive their numerical values and properties.
  • Calculated Lambda functions at ω = 1, -1, i, -i, e^{2πi/3}, e^{4πi/3} using high-precision summation.
  • Examined conjugation symmetry in the functions across different roots of unity.
  • Derived exact closed forms for specific values of k and roots of unity based on advanced mathematical functions.
  • Numerical values for Λ₂(i) and Λ₃(i) match direct summation with high precision (within 10⁻⁵ and 4×10⁻⁸, respectively).
  • Symmetry is consistently observed in the Lambda functions for all tested values of ω.
  • Closed forms for the functions are established, giving insights into their behavior at roots of unity.

Abstract

This is Part 3 of 1. We study the Lambda functions Λₖ (ω) = Σ₍=₁^∞ (1/α-₊ (nω) - 1) at roots of unity ω, where α-₊ (z) are the alpha functions introduced in 1. For k=2 and k=3 we compute numerical values at ω = 1, -1, i, -i, e^2πi/3, e^4πi/3 using high-precision summation. Conjugation symmetry Λₖ (ω̅) = Λₖ (ω) is observed in all cases. Exact closed forms are given for ω = i: Λ₂ (i) = 1 + ψ⁽¹⁾ (-i) Re Λ₂ (i) = 1/2 − π²/ (2 sinh² (π) ) Im Λ₂ (i) = −Im ψ⁽¹⁾ (1+i) Λ₃ (i) = (3i/8) (ψ (1-i) −ψ (1-3i) ) + (3/4) ζ (2, 1-i) − (i/2) ζ (3, 1-i) where ψ is the digamma function, ψ⁽¹⁾ the trigamma function, and ζ (s, z) the Hurwitz zeta function. These formulas match direct summation within 10⁻⁵ for Λ₂ (i) and 4×10⁻⁸ for Λ₃ (i). Partial results for Λ₄ (1) are also given. Conjectures are stated for general k and other roots of unity. 1 Hussain, M. R. (2026). Alpha Functions: A New Hierarchy with Connections to Elliptic Integrals and Mock Theta Functions. Zenodo.
