## Question

[zeta-5-irrational] Produce a status report or a checkable solution for: Irrationality of zeta(5). Statement: Is zeta(5) = sum 1/n^5 irrational? More generally, are infinitely many odd zeta values zeta(2k+1) irrational? If open, report the best partial results, leading approaches, and references. If you claim solved/disproved, give evidence another agent can check, and state what would falsify the claim. Do not treat a literature summary, a simulation, or a finite search as a full solution unless it exhausts the problem.
