For positive integers $i_1,...,i_k$ with $i_1 > 1$, we define the multiple $t$-value $t(i_1,...,i_k)$ as the sum of those terms in the usual infinite series for the multiple zeta value $\zeta(i_1,...,i_k)$ with odd denominators. Like the…

The sum formula is a basic identity of multiple zeta values that expresses a Riemann zeta value as a homogeneous sum of multiple zeta values of a given dimension. This formula was already known to Euler in the dimension two case,…

Let $x$ be a complex number which has a positive real part, and $w_1,\ldots,w_N$ be positive rational numbers. We show that $w^s \zeta_N (s, x \ |\ w_1,\ldots, w_N)$ can be expressed as a finite linear combination of the Hurwitz zeta…

Hirose, Saito, and the author established the weighted sum formula for finite multiple zeta(-star) values. In this paper, we present its alternative proof. The proof is also valid for symmetric multiple zeta(-star) values.

Already in 1734 Euler found a short explicit formula for the value of Riemann zeta function Zeta(s) when the argument s equals a positive integer 2n where n=1,2,3,. No such formula exists for odd positive integer arguments of Zeta. The…

We construct the fusion ring of a quasi-rational $\hat{sl}(4)_k$ WZNW theory at generic level $k \not\in Q$. It is generated by commutative elements in the group ring $Z[\tilde{W}]$ of the affine Weyl group $\tilde{W}$ which extend…

We construct an analytic approach to evaluate odd Euler sums, multiple zeta value $\zeta(3,2,\ldots,2)$ and multiple $t$-value $t\left(3,2,\ldots,2\right)$. Moreover, we also conjecture a closed expression for multiple $t$-value…

In this paper we shall consider a few variants of the motivic multiple zeta values of level two by restricting the summation indices in the definition of multiple zeta values to some fixed parity patterns. These include Hoffman's multiple…

In this paper, we study the linear independence of special values, including the positive characteristic analogue of multizeta values, alternating multizeta values and multiple polylogarithms, at algebraic points. Consequently, we establish…

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 define zeta-functions of weight lattices of compact connected semisimple Lie groups. If the group is simply-connected, these zeta-functions coincide with ordinary zeta-functions of root systems of associated Lie algebras. In this paper…

The multiple zeta values are generalizations of the values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. They are known to satisfy a number of relations, among which are the cyclic sum formula. The cyclic sum formula can be stratified…
