We obtain a class of quadratic relations for a q-analogue of multiple zeta values (qMZV's). In the limit q->1, it turns into Kawashima's relation for multiple zeta values. As a corollary we find that qMZV's satisfy the linear relation…
Ohno's relation gives a large family of relations of the multiple zeta values. We shall show functional relations of generating functions of Ohno's relation. With these relations we present a new proof of Ohno's relation.
We introduce finite and symmetric Mordell-Tornheim type of multiple zeta values and give a new approach to the Kaneko-Zagier conjecture stating that the finite and symmetric multiple zeta values satisfy the same relations.
Quasi-shuffle products, introduced by the first author, have been useful in studying multiple zeta values and some of their analogues and generalizations. The second author, together with Kajikawa, Ohno, and Okuda, significantly extended…
The Kaneko-Zagier conjecture states that finite and symmetric multiple zeta values satisfy the same relations. In the previous work with H.~Bachmann and Y.~Takeyama, we proved that the finite and symmetric multiple zeta value are obtained…
Following Bachmann's recent work on bi-brackets and multiple Eisenstein series, Zudilin introduced the notion of multiple q-zeta brackets, which provides a q-analog of multiple zeta values possessing both shuffle as well as quasi-shuffle…
Multiple zeta values have been studied by a wide variety of methods. In this article we summarize some of the results about them that can be obtained by an algebraic approach. This involves "coding" the multiple zeta values by monomials in…
In this paper, we give a formula that connects two variants of multiple zeta values; multitangent functions and symmetric multiple zeta values. As an application of this formula, we give two results. First, we prove Bouillot's conjecture on…
A large family of relations among multiple zeta values may be described using the combinatorics of shuffle and quasi-shuffle algebras. While the structure of shuffle algebras have been well understood for some time now, quasi-shuffle…
This note is a survey of results on the function $F_{\mathbf{k}}(z)$ introduced by G. Kawashima, and its applications to the study of multiple zeta values. We stress the viewpoint that the Kawashima function is a generalization of the…
In this paper, we study multiple Eisenstein series, which build a natural bridge between the theory of multiple zeta values and modular forms. We prove a large family of relations among these series and propose an explicit conjectural…
Quasi-shuffle algebras have been a useful tool in studying multiple zeta values and related quantities, including multiple polylogarithms, finite multiple harmonic sums, and q-multiple zeta values. Here we show that two ideas previously…
In this paper we consider iterated integrals of multiple polylogarithm functions and prove some explicit relations of multiple polylogarithm functions. Then we apply the relations obtained to find numerous formulas of alternating multiple…
We introduce an algebraic formulation of cyclic sum formulas for multiple zeta values and for multiple zeta-star values. We also present an algebraic proof of cyclic sum formulas for multiple zeta values and for multiple zeta-star values by…
T. Ito defined an analog of the Arakawa-Kaneko zeta function to obtain relations among Mordell-Tornheim multiple zeta values. In this paper, we develop two things related to an analog of the Arakawa-Kaneko zeta function. One is to find an…
The Ohno relation is a well known relation in the theory of multiple zeta values. Recently, Seki and Yamamoto introduced a connector method and gave its succinct proof. On the other hand, Igarashi obtained the generalization of the Ohno…
We introduce derivations on the algebra of multiple harmonic q-series and show that they generate linear relations among the q-series which contain the derivation relations for a q-analogue of multiple zeta values due to Bradley. As a…
An explicit formula for the height-one multiple zeta values was proved by Kaneko and the second author. We give an alternative proof of this result and its generalization. We also prove its counterpart for the finite multiple zeta values.

We introduce a $q$-analog of the multiple harmonic series commonly referred to as multiple zeta values. The multiple $q$-zeta values satisfy a $q$-stuffle multiplication rule analogous to the stuffle multiplication rule arising from the…
