Tanaka, Hidekazu Transcendence of special values of log double sine function. (English) Zbl 1310.11076 Proc. Japan Acad., Ser. A 90, No. 9, 133-134 (2014). Summary: In [J. Number Theory 129, No. 9, 2154–2165 (2009; Zbl 1175.11039); ibid. 130, No. 5, 1251 (2010; Zbl 1216.11070)], S. Gun et al. studied transcendental values of the logarithm of the gamma function. They showed that for any rational number \(x\) with \(0 < x < \frac{1}{2}\), the number \(\log \Gamma(x) + \log \Gamma(1-x)\) is transcendental with at most one possible exception. In this paper, we study transcendental values of log double sine function using their method.
