Let $\gamma$ be the Euler-Mascheroni constant. Why is $\gamma$ not a Liouville number? Are there any upper bounds for the irrationality measure of $\gamma$ known?


Any pointers to the literature are welcome. I don't find much on this topic online. Thanks. 



Why is the Euler-Mascheroni constant not a Liouville number?
At the present time, we do not even know how to prove that the Euler-Mascheroni constant $\gamma=\lim\_{n\to\infty} \sum\_{k=1}^n\frac{1}{k} - \log n$ is irrational, much less transcendental; although it is conjectured to be transcendental. The reason you won't find a lot about this topic online (or in the research literature) is because so little is known about the algebraic properties of $\gamma$. 


There is an analgoue of the Euler-Mascheroni constant for Carlitz modules, and I know that there are many transcendence results in the Carlitz (and Drin'feld and T)-module universe that aren't currently provable over number fields. See for example

But I don't know if irrationality (or transcendence) has even been proven in that setting.
