Abstract

In this paper, we study multizeta values over function fields in characteristic pp. For each d2d \geq 2, we show that when the constant field has cardinality >2> 2, the field generated by all multizeta values of depth dd is of infinite transcendence degree over the field generated by all single zeta values. As a special case, this gives an affirmative answer to the function field analogue of a question of Y.\ Andr\'e.
