Abstract

We consider the reflection identities for harmonic sums at weight four. We decompose a product of two harmonic sums with mixed pole structure into a linear combination of terms each having a pole at either negative or positive values of the argument. The pole decomposition demonstrates how the product of two simpler harmonic sums can build more complicated harmonic sums at higher weight. We list a minimal irreducible bilinear set of reflection identities at weight four which present the main result of the paper. We also discuss how other trilinear and quartic reflection identities can be easily constructed from our result with the use of well known shuffle relations for harmonic sums.
