The harmonic polylogarithms (hpl's) are introduced. They are a generalization of Nielsen's polylogarithms, satisfying a product algebra (the product of two hpl's is in turn a combination of hpl's) and forming a set closed under the…
We analyse a certain family of cellular integrals, which are period integrals on the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{0,8}$ of curves of genus zero with eight marked points, and give rise to simultaneous rational approximations to $\zeta(3)$ and…
The values at 1 of single-valued multiple polylogarithms span a certain subalgebra of multiple zeta values. In this paper, the properties of this algebra are studied from the point of view of motivic periods.
In this series of seven papers, predominantly by means of elementary analysis, we establish a number of identities related to the Riemann zeta function. Whilst this paper is mainly expository, some of the formulae reported in it are…
In this paper, we formally introduce the notion of Ap{\'e}ry-like sums and we show that every multiple zeta values can be expressed as a $\bf Z$-linear combination of them. We even describe a canonical way to do so. This allows us to put in…
This paper contains examples of shuffle relations among multiple Dedekind zeta values. Dedekind zeta values were defined by the author in his paper "Multiple Dedekind zeta functions". Here we concentrate on the cases of real or imaginary…
This talk is dedicated to various aspects of Mirror Symmetry. It summarizes some of the mathematical developments that took place since M. Kontsevich's report at the Z\"urich ICM and provides an extensive, although not exhaustive,…
It's well known that multiple polylogarithms give rise to good unipotent variations of mixed Hodge-Tate structures. In this paper we shall {\em explicitly} determine these structures related to multiple logarithms and some other multiple…
The motivic coaction of multiple zeta values and multiple polylogarithms encodes both structural insights on and computational methods for scattering amplitudes in a variety of quantum field theories and in string theory. In this work, we…
We introduce iterated beta integrals, a new class of iterated integrals on the universal abelian covering of the punctured projective line that unifies hyperlogarithms and classical beta integrals while preserving their fundamental…
In a recent paper, A. Libgober showed that the multiplicative sequence {Q_i(c_1,...,c_i)} of Chern classes corresponding to the power series Q(z)=1/Gamma(1+z) appears in a relation between the Chern classes of certain Calabi-Yau manifolds…
By a new orthogonal direct sum decomposition $E_{M} = Y \oplus Z$, which $Z$ is related to $\Delta u_i(i=1,2,3,....,M)$, and a new functional $I(u)$, the method in [2] is improved to obtain new multiple periodic solutions with negativity…
In this note, we propose an integral representation for $\zeta(4)$, where $\zeta$ is the Riemann zeta function. The corresponding expression is obtained using relations for polylogarithms. A possible generalization to any even argument of…
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…
This is a rough write-up of my lecture at Kinosaki and two lectures at RIMS workshops in Dec 1996, on work in progress that has not yet reached any really worthwhile conclusion, but contains lots of fun calculations. History of Vafa's…
We introduce general q-deformed multiple polylogarithms which even in the dilogarithm case differ slightly from the deformation usually discussed in the literature. The merit of the deformation as suggested, here, is that q-deformed…
There are many results for explicit expressions about $q$-multiple zeta values or $q$-harmonic sums on $A-\cdots-A$ indices, that is, the indices are the same. Though the way to treat $q$-multiple zeta values unless the indices are the…
In this paper we define a continuous version of multiple zeta functions. They can be analytically continued to meromorphic functions on $\mathbb{C}^r$ with only simple poles at some special hyperplanes. The evaluations of these functions at…
This paper is an exposition of the completion of a modular group with respect to its inclusion into SL_2(Q) and the connection with the theory of modular forms and variations of mixed Hodge structure over modular curves. Among the goals of…
We define a generalisation of the completed Riemann zeta function in several complex variables. It satisfies a functional equation, shuffle product identities, and has simple poles along finitely many hyperplanes, with a recursive structure…
