A note on odd zeta values. (English) Zbl 1470.11203

Summary: Using a new construction of rational linear forms in odd zeta values [the second author, SIGMA, Symmetry Integrability Geom. Methods Appl. 14, Paper 028, 8 p. (2018; Zbl 1445.11063)] and the saddle point method, we prove the existence of at least two irrational numbers amongst the 33 odd zeta values \(\zeta(5), \zeta (7), \ldots, \zeta (69)\).
