Abstract

Let DZk\mathcal{DZ}_k be the Q\mathbb{Q}-vector space spanned by double zeta values with weight kk, and DMk\mathcal{DM}_k be its quotient space divided by the space PZk\mathcal{PZ}_k spanned by the zeta value ζ(k)\zeta(k) and products of two zeta values with total weight kk. When kk is even, an upper bound for the dimension of DMk\mathcal{DM}_k is known. By adding the dimensions of DMk\mathcal{DM}_k and PZk\mathcal{PZ}_k, an upper bound of DZk\mathcal{DZ}_k which equals k/2k/2 minus the dimension of the space of modular forms of weight kk on the modular group is given. In this note, we obtain some specific sets of generators for DMk\mathcal{DM}_k which represent the upper bound. These yield the corresponding sets and the upper bound for DZk\mathcal{DZ}_k.

ver.2 : I replaced the preprint by the final version of a manuscript. Note that the title is modified; "consisting of" is changed to "spanned by"
