Finite multiple zeta values associated with 2-colored rooted trees

Number Theory 2016-09-30 v1

Abstract

We define finite multiple zeta values (FMZVs) associated with some combinatorial objects, which we call 2-colored rooted trees, and prove that FMZVs associated with 2-colored rooted trees satisfying certain mild assumptions can be written explicitly as Z\mathbb{Z}-linear combinations of the usual FMZVs. Our result can be regarded as a generalization of Kamano's recent work on finite Mordell-Tornheim multiple zeta values. As an application, we will give a new proof of the shuffle relation of FMZVs, which was first proved by Kaneko and Zagier.
