Multiple Polylogarithms: A Brief Survey

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2007-06-13 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

We survey various results and conjectures concerning multiple polylogarithms and the multiple zeta function. Among the results, we announce our resolution of several conjectures on multiple zeta values. We also provide a new integral representation for the general multiple polylogarithm, and develop a q-analogue of the shuffle product.
