Some equations involving the Gamma function
Adele Padgett, Department of Mathematics & Statistics, McMaster University,

The Gamma function extends the factorial function to the complex numbers and thus appears in many mathematical contexts. In this talk, I will present join work with S. Eterović in which we prove certain systems of equations involving addition, multiplication, and the Gamma function must have infinitely many solutions in the complex numbers. As an immediate corollary, the Gamma function has infinitely many periodic points of every period.
