Abstract

We establish an identity amongst certain differential operators applied to a formal power-series. As a corollary we obtain an explicit depth reduction result for alternating MZV's of the form ζ(1,,1,2m)\zeta(1,\ldots,1,\overline{2m}), which resolves a conjecture posed earlier by the third author.
