Abstract

In this paper we have described, in the Section 1, the Fibonacci’s zeta function and the Euler-Mascheroni
constant and in the Section 2, we have described some sectors of the string theory: zeta strings, zeta
nonlocal scalar fields and some Lagrangians with zeta Function nonlocality. In conclusion, in the Section 3,
we have described some possible mathematical connections.

1. The Fibonacci’s zeta function [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]

The Fibonacci’s zeta function is defined as:

∞
1
F (s) = ∑
k=1 Fib(k ) s
(1)

where s=a+jb.

The logarithm of the Fibonacci’s zeta and the Fiborial

Let F(s) the Fibonacci’s zeta, then is:

1
 ln F ( s ) ∞
− = ln( Fib# ) , dove Fib # = ∏ Fib ( k ) (2)
s k=1

We have that Fib# is the Fiborial , i.e. the product to the infinity of the Fibonacci’s numbers.

We can write the eq. (1) also as follows:

−s −s −s −s −s −s
F (s) = 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 8 + ...

F ( s ) = e − s ln1 + e− s ln1 + e − s ln 2 + e − s ln 3 + e − s ln 5 + e − s ln 8 + ...

ln F ( s ) = − s (ln1+ ln1+ ln 2 + ln 3+ ln 5 + ln 8 + ...)

ln F ( s ) ∞
− = ln ∏ Fib ( k ) = ln(Fib# )
s k=1

where we have applied a note property of the logarithms.

Generalization of the Gamma function for various series

If we want to reach a possible functional equation for the Fibonacci’s zeta, then we need to ask first how to
express the "Fibonacci’s Gamma”.

We known that the Gamma function Γ (x) is an extension of factorial, by an integer k to a real number x.
The Gamma function was studied by Euler (see [1]) and has a significant importance in Number Theory and
in the study of the Riemann zeta.

In general we know that Γ (x) enjoys some of the following properties:

1. Γ(k + 1) = k!, k ≥ 0;

2. Γ(1) = 1, Γ(x + 1) = x Γ(x) e Γ(x) is the unique solution of this functional equation for x > 0;

3. , x ≠ 0, -1, -2 …
(Euler form);

4. (Weierstrass form) where γ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant

( 1i ) − log k ;
k
defined by γ = lim
k→ ∞
∑
i= 1

5. (property of reflection), (property of

extension) and Γ(1/2)2 = π.

From above we can tell which should be considered in the follow, both the Euler form and the Weierstrass
form.

Generalized Euler form

We consider a series gk > 0, k > 0 and an extension g(x) > 0, x > 0 with the property that:

g(k) = gk and there exists and isn’t zero.

From the above property 3, we have:

Γ g ( x) = lim g ( x)Γ g ,k ( x)
k→ ∞

g (k ) x k
g (i) (3)
= lim λ ( x)
k→ ∞ g ( x)
∏
i= 1 g ( x + i)
, g(x+i) ≠ 0,i=0,1,2,...

where λ(x) is to establish.

Thence

we obtain

If we choose λ(x) such that

for example:

we obtain

Γ g ( x + 1) = g ( x)Γ g ( x) (4)

If we take Γg(1) = 1 , we obtain .

Furthermore, from eq. (3) we have:

such that

.

With this restriction, λ(k) can be extended to λ(x) or to have Γg(x) with additional properties.

Using the eq. (4), Γg(x), x > 0 satisfy the relation

Example A

A simple generalization of gk = k is gk = ak + b with a, b choose such that gk > 0, k > 0. Thence, we obtain:

If we take λ(x) = 1, we obtain:

with

Example B

The most simple and effective extension is:

where ΓF (k + 1) = (k!)F.

values for -2 ≤ x ≤ 1 (b) show the values for 0 ≤ x ≤ 5.

Weierstrass generalization form

Using the eq. (3) and assuming that λ(x) and g(x) are differentiable, we obtain:

Γ 'g ( x ) λ '( x) g '( x)  k g '( x + i ) 

= − − lim  ∑ − ln g (k )  (6)
Γ g ( x) λ ( x) g ( x) x→ ∞  i = 1 g ( x + i) 

which suggests an Euler-Mascheroni generalized constant:

 k g '(i ) 
γ g = lim  ∑ − ln g (k )  (7)
x→ ∞
 i = 1 g (i ) 

(we remember that the Euler-Mascheroni constant can be written also as follow

 n 1  ∞  1 1
γ = lim ∑ − ln ( n )  = ∫   x −  dx , (7b))
n→ ∞
 k=1 k  1 x 

5
thence γ becomes the associated constant to the series gk = k.

Thence the Weierstrass generalized form (see property 4) becomes:

 g '( i ) 
1 g ( x) xγ g ∞ g ( x + i ) −x 
= e ∏ exp g ( i )  (8)
Γ g ( x ) λ ( x) i= 1 g (i)

While the generalized reflection formula becomes:

λ ( x )λ ( − x ) ∞ g (i ) 2
Γ g ( x )Γ g ( − x ) = ∏
g ( x ) g (− x) i = 1 g ( x + i ) g ( − x + i)
(9)

and since Γg(1 - x) = g(-x)Γg(-x),

we obtain

λ ( x )λ ( − x ) ∞ g (i) 2
Γ g ( x)Γ g (1 − x) =
g ( x)
∏i= 1 g ( x + i) g (− x + i ) (10)

Example A

For gk = ak + b , as before, the Weierstrass form is:

where

(ψ0 is the digamma function), and the eq. (11) gives:

6
The functional equation Γg(x + 1) = (ax + b)Γg(x) , thence, becomes

Example B

For the Fibonacci’s numbers the Weierstrass form is:

(12)

where γF = 0.6676539532 … , and the eq. (11) gives

since for i integer.

We have that:

Alternatively, can be considered a closed form for the constant of the Fiborial (Sloane's A062073
[4])

(If we replace ΓF(1/2) with Γg(1/2) where and φ is the aurea ratio ,
the precedent result can give a closed form for the infinite product where φ > 1. This product is
linked to the partitions functions and the q-series)

7
Other series and generalizations

Generalized Gamma functions can be obtained also for series as: , and
etc. The Euler-Mascheroni generalized constant can also be used to introduce sequences
that are well known. If then (A constant) such that:

For example, , z > 0 from with , the Riemann zeta.

can be extended to real numbers using:

The Beta function can be also generalized to:

The logarithmic derivative, analyzed previously, generalizes the digamma function

with . Thence:

g(x + i) ≠ 0, i = 0, 1, 2, … , using the Weierstrass form.

8
This satisfies also other relations:

Considering
,
where is the k-mo harmonic number, the 'g-harmonic' number can be defined as
.

Analogously, if we assume that g(x) is differentiable, also the properties of the poligamma function
can be considered.

For example:

while

Thence a 'g-zeta' can be defined as

with k>1
when g(i) = ai + b , we obtain

that can be extended to the real numbers and becomes the Hurwitz zeta function:

For the Fibonacci’s zeta, thence, we can take in consideration the eq. (5) or the eq. (12).

1.1 The Euler-Mascheroni constant

The Euler-Mascheroni constant (see eq. (7b)) is a mathematical constant, used principally in number theory
and in the mathematical analysis. It is defined as the limit of the difference between the truncated
harmonic series and the natural logarithm:

 1 1 1 1 
γ = lim  1 + + + + ... + − ln ( n )  ,
n→ ∞
 2 3 4 n 

that we can rewrite in the following form:

9
  n 1  ∞  1 1
γ = lim ∑ − ln ( n )  = ∫   x −  dx , (7b)
n→ ∞
 k=1 k  1 x 

where  x  is the part integer function.

We have that γ has the following approximated value γ ≅ 0,5772156649.... The constant can be defined
in various modes by the integrals:

∞ ln ( x ) 1  1 ∞  1 1 ∞ 1 1 

 1− e x  1+ x

 x 0 x 0


The Euler-Mascheroni constant is related to the zeta function from the following expressions:

 4 ∞
( − 1) m − 1ζ ( m + 1) ; ∞
 1 1 
γ = lim+ ∑  s − n  = lim ζ ( s ) −

π 
∑m = 1 2m ( m + 1) s→ 1
n= 1  n s  s→ 1
 . (7d)
s − 1

The constant is also linked to the gamma function:

 1 1 n   n n 
γ = lim x − Γ   = lim ∑    −  , (7e)
x→ ∞
 x  n→ ∞ n k = 1   k  k 

and to the beta function:

n→ ∞  1 n+ 1

 n

Now we describe two theorems related to the Euler-Mascheroni constant γ .

Theorem (1).

For positive integers a we have

1 a
{ a / x} dx = 1 − γ where γ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant.
a ∫1

a→ ∞

We have:

10

Therefore,

 i= 1 i  a→ ∞  i= 1 i 
= 1 − lim ( H a − ln ( a ) ) = 1 − γ . (7g)
a→ ∞

Theorem (2).

If pn denotes the nth prime number, then we get as n → ∞

1 n − 1 d ( i ) ln ( pn )
lim ∑ − = 0 where d ( i ) = pi + 1 − pi .
n→ ∞ n − 1 i = 1 pi n− 1

We start by using the result of theorem (1), as n → ∞

1 pn  pn  1 p1  pn  1 p2  pn  1 pn− 1 p  1 pn  pn 
1− γ =

Now we proceed in two directions:

1)
1 n− 1   n− 1

i n i i = 1 pi

Hence we get
n− 1
d ( i)
∑ < ln ( pn ) − 1 + γ .
i = 1 pi

2)

i= 1 pi + 1

Hence we get
n− 1
d (i)
∑ > ln( pn ) − 2 + γ .
i= 1 pi + 1

Combining, the above two cases, we get

n− 1
d (i) n− 1
d ( i)
ln( pn ) − 2 + γ < ∑ < ∑ < ln( pn ) − 1 + γ .
i= 1 pi + 1 i = 1 pi

Dividing by n − 1 and taking limits as n → ∞ , we get the following result, i.e.,

1 n − 1 d ( i ) ln ( pn )

∑
n − 1 i = 1 pi

2. Zeta Strings, Zeta Nonlocal Scalar Fields and Some Lagrangians with Zeta Function Nonlocality [7], [8],

Dynamics of this field φ is encoded in the (pseudo)differential form of the Riemann zeta function. When
the d’Alambertian is an argument of the Riemann zeta function we shall call such string a “zeta string”.

For h = 1 , the equation of motion is:

where ζ (1) = ∞ gives V1 ( φ ) = ∞ .

In conclusion, for h = 2 , we have the following equation of motion:

Now, we want to analyze the following case: Cn = . In this case, from the Lagrangian (23), we obtain:

The corresponding potential is:

m D 31 − 7φ 2
V (φ ) = − φ . (41)
g 24(1 − φ )

We note that 7 and 31 are prime natural numbers, i.e. 6n ± 1 with n =1 and 5, with 1 and 5 that are
Fibonacci’s numbers. Furthermore, the number 24 is related to the Ramanujan function that has 24
“modes” that correspond to the physical vibrations of a bosonic string. Thence, we obtain:

 ∞ cos π txw' − π x 2 w' 

Its weak field approximation is:

 ζ  2m 2 − 1 + ζ  2m 2  − 2 φ = 0 , (43)

From (44) it follows one solution for M 2 > 0 at M 2 ≈ 2.79m 2 and many tachyon solutions when
M 2 < − 38m 2 .

5−1 5+1
We note that the number 2.79 is connected with φ = and Φ = , i.e. the “aurea” section and
2 2
the “aurea” ratio. Indeed, we have that:

 5+ 1  1  5 − 1 

Furthermore, we have also that:

( Φ )14 / 7 + ( Φ ) − 25 / 7 = 2,618033989 + 0,179314566 = 2,79734

With regard the extension by ordinary Lagrangian, we have the Lagrangian, potential, equation of motion
n2 − 1
and mass spectrum condition that, when Cn = , are:

In addition to many tachyon solutions, equation (48) has two solutions with positive mass: M 2 ≈ 2.67 m 2
and M 2 ≈ 4.66m 2 .

We note also here, that the numbers 2.67 and 4.66 are related to the “aureo” numbers. Indeed, we have
that:

Furthermore, we have also that:

( Φ )14 / 7 + ( Φ ) − 41 / 7 = 2,618033989 + 0,059693843 = 2,6777278 ;

( Φ ) 22 / 7 + ( Φ ) − 30 / 7 = 4,537517342 + 0,1271565635 = 4,6646738 .

Now, we describe the case of Cn = µ ( n ) . Here µ ( n ) is the Mobius function, which is defined for all
n2
positive integers and has values 1, 0, – 1 depending on factorization of n into prime numbers p . It is
defined as follows:

20
  0,  n = p 2m
 
µ ( n ) =  ( − 1) ,
k
 n = p1 p2 ... pk , pi ≠ p j (49)
 1, 
  n = 1, ( k = 0 ).

The corresponding Lagrangian is

Recall that the inverse Riemann zeta function can be defined by

Now (50) can be rewritten as

Now, we take the pure numbers concerning the eqs. (44) and (48). They are: 2.79, 2.67 and 4.66. We note

5+1
that all the numbers are related with Φ = , thence with the aurea ratio, by the following
2
expressions:

2,79 ≅ ( Φ )15 / 7 ; 2,67 ≅ ( Φ )13 / 7 + ( Φ ) − 21 / 7 ; 4,66 ≅ ( Φ ) 22 / 7 + ( Φ ) − 30 / 7 . (56)
