Abstract
The multiple gamma function Γn(z), defined by a recurrence-functional equation as a generalization of the Euler gamma function, is used in many applications of pure and applied mathematics, and theoretical physics. The theory of the multiple gamma function has been related to certain spectral functions in mathematical physics, to the study of functional determinants of Laplacians of the n-sphere, to Hecke L-functions, to the Selberg zeta function, and to the random matrix theory. There is a wide class of definite integrals and infinite sums appearing in statistical physics (the Potts model) and the lattice theory, which can be computed by means of the Γn(z) function. This paper presents new integral representations for the multiple gamma function and other mathematical functions and constants.
