    Abstract

    We show that

    F_a(x)=\frac{\ln \Gamma (x+1)}{x\ln(ax)} is a Pick function for a\ge 1 and
    find its integral representation.

    We also consider the function f(x)=(\frac{\pi^{x/2}}{\Gamma(1+x/2)})^{1/(x\ln
    x)} and show that \ln f(x+1) is a Stieltjes function and that f(x+1) is
    completely monotonic on (0,\infty). In particular f(n)=\Omega_n^{1/(n\ln
    n)},n\ge 2 is a

    Hausdorff moment sequence. Here \Omega_n is the volume of the unit ball in
    Euclidean n-space
