Relations for Bernoulli--Barnes Numbers and Barnes Zeta Functions
read the original abstract
The \emph{Barnes $\zeta$-function} is \[ \zeta_n (z, x; \a) := \sum_{\m \in \Z_{\ge 0}^n} \frac{1}{\left(x + m_1 a_1 + \dots + m_n a_n \right)^z} \] defined for $\Re(x) > 0$ and $\Re(z) > n$ and continued meromorphically to $\C$. Specialized at negative integers $-k$, the Barnes $\zeta$-function gives \[ \zeta_n (-k, x; \a) = \frac{(-1)^n k!}{(k+n)!} \, B_{k+n} (x; \a) \] where $B_k(x; \a)$ is a \emph{Bernoulli--Barnes polynomial}, which can be also defined through a generating function that has a slightly more general form than that for Bernoulli polynomials. Specializing $B_k(0; \a)$ gives the \emph{Bernoulli--Barnes numbers}. We exhibit relations among Barnes $\zeta$-functions, Bernoulli--Barnes numbers and polynomials, which generalize various identities of Agoh, Apostol, Dilcher, and Euler.
