Zeta, a tale hidden behind its values
Zeta values are ubiquitous in number theory. They are defined as special values obtained by evaluating the Riemann Zeta function in specific points of its domain, but their appearance is not naively linked to the definition.
We will explore different situations in which zeta values appears as algebraic constants such as annihilators or fittings of class groups, starting with Kummer's criterion and ending up with Iwasawa's theorem.
