Abstract
Almost eleven decades ago, Barnes introduced and made a systematic investigation on the multiple Gamma functions $\Gamma_n$. In about the middle of 1980s, these multiple Gamma functions were revived in the study of the determinants of Laplacians on the $n$-dimensional unit sphere ${\bf S}^n$ by using the multiple Hurwitz zeta functions $\zeta_n(s,a)$. In this paper, we first aim at presenting a generalized Hurwitz formula for $\zeta_n(s,a)$ together with its various special cases. Secondly, we give analytic continuations of multiple Hurwitz-Euler eta function $\eta_n(s,a)$ in two different ways. As a by-product of our second investigation, a relationship between $\eta_n(-\ell,a)$ $(\ell \in \mathbb{N}_0)$ and the generalized Euler polynomials $E_\ell^{(n)}(n-a)$ is also presented.
