We introduce the method of desingularization of multi-variable multiple zeta-functions (of the generalized Euler-Zagier type), under the motivation of finding suitable rigorous meaning of the values of multiple zeta-functions at…

We study two families of zeta-like multiple series -- the multiple $\rho$-values and the multiple $\eta$-values -- defined by nested sums with shifted denominators. An explicit factorial formula for $\rho$ reveals its intrinsic…

We prove a new class of relations among multiple zeta values (MZV's) which contains Ohno's relation. We also give the formula for the maximal number of independent MZV's of fixed weight, under our new relations. To derive our formula for…

Multiple zeta values (MZVs) with certain repeated arguments or certain sums of cyclically generated MZVs are evaluated as rational multiple of powers of $\pi^2$. In this paper, we give a short and simple proof of the remarkable evaluations…

This doctoral thesis studies the overlap between two well-known collections of results in number theory: the theory of periods and period polynomials of modular forms as developed by Eichler, Shimura and Manin and its extensions by K\"ohnen…

Let $l\ge 1$ be an integer. For any multiple index $\mathbf{s}=(s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_l)\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}^l$ with $s_l>1$, the multiple zeta value (MZV for short) is defined by \begin{align*} \zeta(s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_l):=\sum_{1\leq…

In this note we shall study the Witten multiple zeta function associated to the Lie algebra so(5) defined by Matsumoto. Our main result shows that its special values at nonnegative integers are always expressible by alternating Euler sums.…

We generalize the well-known parity theorem for multiple zeta values (MZV) to functional equations of multiple polylogarithms (MPL). This reproves the parity theorem for MZV with an additional integrality statement, and also provides parity…

Let $r\ge 1$ be an integer. For any multiple index $\mathbf{s}=(s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_r) \in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}^r$ with $s_r>1$, the multiple zeta value (MZV for short) is defined by \begin{align*} \zeta(s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_r):=\sum_{1\leq…

We prove sum formulas for double polylogarithms of Hurwitz type, that is, involving a shifting parameter $b$ in the denominator. These formulas especially imply well-known sum formulas for double zeta values, and sum formulas for double…

In this paper, we establish some expressions of series involving harmonic numbers and Stirling numbers of the first kind in terms of multiple zeta values, and present some new relationships between multiple zeta values and multiple zeta…

We give a weighted sum formula for the double polylogarithm in two variables, from which we can recover the classical weighted sum formulas for double zeta values, double $T$-values, and some double $L$-values. Also presented is a…

We introduce and study a ``level two'' analogue of finite multiple zeta values. We give conjectural bases of the space of finite Euler sums as well as that of usual finite multiple zeta values in terms of these newly defined elements. A…

Multiple q-zeta values are a 1-parameter generalization (in fact, a q-analog) of the multiple harmonic sums commonly referred to as multiple zeta values. These latter are obtained from the multiple q-zeta values in the limit as q tends to…

We prove that every multiple zeta value is a $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combination of $\zeta(k_1,\dots, k_r)$ where $k_i\geq 2$. Our proof also yields an explicit algorithm for such an expansion. The key ingredient is to introduce modified…

In this paper, we investigate the sums of mutliple zeta(-star) values of height one: $Z_{\pm}(n)=\sum_{a+b=n} (\pm 1)^b\zeta(\{1\}^a,b+2)$, $Z_{\pm}^{\star}(n)=\sum_{a+b=n} (\pm 1)^b\zeta^{\star}(\{1\}^a,b+2)$. In particular, we prove that…

In recent years, the generalized sum-of-divisor functions of MacMahon have been unified into the algebraic framework of $q$-multiple zeta values. In particular, these results link partition theory, quasimodular forms, $q$-multiple zeta…

Let $N$ be a positive integer. In this paper we shall study the special values of multiple polylogarithms at $N$th roots of unity, called multiple polylogarithm values (MPVs) of level $N$. These objects are generalizations of multiple zeta…

We prove some relations for the $q$-multiple zeta values ($q$MZV). They are $q$-analogues of the cyclic sum formula, the Ohno relation and the Ohno-Zagier relation for the multiple zeta values (MZV). We discuss the problem to determine the…

We establish an identity amongst certain differential operators applied to a formal power-series. As a corollary we obtain an explicit depth reduction result for alternating MZV's of the form $\zeta(1,\ldots,1,\overline{2m})$, which…
