On arithmetic nature of $q$-analogue of the generalized Stieltjes constants

In this article, our aim is to extend the research conducted by Kurokawa and Wakayama in 2003, particularly focusing on the $q$-analogue of the Hurwitz zeta function. Our specific emphasis lies in exploring the coefficients in the Laurent series expansion of a $q$-analogue of the Hurwitz zeta function around $s=1$. We establish the closed-form expressions for the first two coefficients in the Laurent series of the $q$-Hurwitz zeta function. Additionally, utilizing the reflection formula for the digamma function and the identity of Bernoulli polynomials, we explore transcendence results related to ${\gamma }_0(q,x)$ for $q>1$ and $0<x<1$, where ${\gamma }_0(q,x)$ is the constant term which appears in the Laurent series expansion of $q$-Hurwitz zeta function around $s=1$. Furthermore, we put forth a conjecture about the linear independence of special values of ${\gamma }_0(q,x)$ along with $1$ at rational arguments with co-prime conditions, over the field of rational numbers. Finally, we show that at least one more than half of the numbers are linearly independent over the field of rationals.
