abstract

We prove that there are at least $1.284 \cdot \sqrt{s/\log s}$ irrational numbers among $\zeta(3)$, $\zeta(5)$, $\zeta(7)$, $\ldots$, $\zeta(s-1)$ for any sufficiently large even integer $s$. This result improves upon the previous finding by a constant factor. The proof combines the elimination technique of Fischler-Sprang-Zudilin (2019) with the $\Phi_n$ factor method of Zudilin (2001).
