We study a class of q-analogues of multiple zeta values given by certain formal q-series with rational coefficients. After introducing a notion of weight and depth for these q-analogues of multiple zeta values we present dimension…
The algebraic and combinatorial theory of shuffles, introduced by Chen and Ree, is further developed and applied to the study of multiple zeta values. In particular, we establish evaluations for certain sums of cyclically generated multiple…
Consider a formally self-adjoint first order linear differential operator acting on pairs (2-columns) of complex-valued scalar fields over a 4-manifold without boundary. We examine the geometric content of such an operator and show that it…
In this note we study a family of algebras with one parameter defined by generators and relations. The set of generators contains the generators of the usual braids algebra, and another set of generators which is interpreted as ties between…
Multizeta values in positive characteristic were first introduced and studied by Thakur. He and Lara Rodr\'{\i}guez discovered and conjectured certain zeta-like families. Kuan and Lin stated more conjectures about zeta-like multizeta…
We investigate the W-algebra resulting from Drinfel'd-Sokolov reduction of a $B_2$ WZW model with respect to the grading induced by a short root. The quantum algebra, which is generated by three fields of spin-2 and a field of spin-1, is…
One of the important research subjects in the study of multiple zeta functions is to clarify the linear relations and functional equations among them. The Schur multiple zeta functions are a generalization of the multiple zeta functions of…
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…
Bowman and Bradley proved an explicit formula for the sum of multiple zeta values whose indices are the sequence (3,1,3,1,...,3,1) with a number of 2's inserted. Kondo, Saito and Tanaka considered the similar sum of multiple zeta-star…
Multiples zeta values and alternating multiple zeta values in positive characteristic were introduced by Thakur and Harada as analogues of classical multiple zeta values of Euler and Euler sums. In this paper we determine all linear…
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…
It is proved that Drinfel'd's pentagon equation implies the generalized double shuffle relation. As a corollary, an embedding from the Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller group $GRT_1$ into Racinet's double shuffle group $DMR_0$ is obtained, which…
Weil has generalized the Riemann-von Mangoldt explicit formula linking the prime numbers with the zeros of the zeta function to the set-up of a general algebraic number field K and Dirichlet-Hecke L-function, revealing in the process the…
In this paper, we study the evaluation formulas of the interpolated multiple zeta values and the interpolated multiple $t$-values with indices involving $1,2,3$. To get these evaluations, we derive the corresponding algebraic relations in…
The standard generators of tridiagonal algebras, recently introduced by Terwilliger, are shown to generate a new (in)finite family of mutually commuting operators which extends the Dolan-Grady construction. The involution property relies on…
We derive a recursive formula for the alpha'-expansion of superstring tree amplitudes involving any number N of massless open string states. String corrections to Yang-Mills field theory are shown to enter through the Drinfeld associator, a…
We study a family of mixed Tate motives over $\mathbb{Z}$ whose periods are linear forms in the zeta values $\zeta(n)$. They naturally include the Beukers-Rhin-Viola integrals for $\zeta(2)$ and the Ball-Rivoal linear forms in odd zeta…
We obtain a weighted sum formula of the zeta values at even arguments, and a weighted sum formula of the multiple zeta values with even arguments and its zeta-star analogue. The weight coefficients are given by (symmetric) polynomials of…
In this note, we shall discuss a generalization of Thakur's multiple zeta values and allied objects, in the framework of function fields of positive characteristic and more precisely, of periods in Tate algebras.
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.
