Multiple zeta values (MZVs) in the usual sense are the special values of multiple variable zeta functions at positive integers. Their extensive studies are important in both mathematics and physics with broad connections and applications.…

By introducing a generalized notion of multiple zeta values associated with an arbitrary finite subset $S\subset \mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{C})$ and studying their transformation properties under rational functions, we show that multiple…

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…

In an earlier paper [4], we derived asymptotic formulas for the number of representations of zero and of large positive integers by the cubic forms in seven variables which can be written as $L_1(x_1,x_2,x_3) Q_1(x_1,x_2,x_3)+…

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…

Zagier-Hoffman's conjectures predict the dimension and a basis for the $\mathbb Q$-vector spaces spanned by $N$th cyclotomic multiple zeta values (MZV's) of fixed weight where $N$ is a natural number. For $N=1$ (MZV's case), half of these…

Let $w=(w_1,\dots,w_d)$ be a $d$-tuple of positive real numbers such that $\sum_{i}w_i =1$ and $w_1\geq \cdots \geq w_d$. A $d$-dimensional vector $x=(x_1,\dots,x_d)\in\mathbb{R}^d$ is said to be $w$-singular if for every $\epsilon>0$ there…

When solitary waves are characterized as homoclinic orbits of a finite-dimensional Hamiltonian system, they have an integer-valued topological invariant, the Maslov index. We are interested in developing a robust numerical algorithm to…

Let $w=(w_1, w_2)$ be a pair of positive real numbers with $w_1+w_2=1$ and $w_1\ge w_2$. We show that the set of $w$-weighted singular vectors in $\mathbb R^2$ has Hausdorff dimension $2- \frac{1}{1+w_1}$. This extends the previous work of…

We provide a data mine of proven results for multiple zeta values (MZVs) of the form $\zeta(s_1,s_2,...,s_k)=\sum_{n_1>n_2>...>n_k>0}^\infty \{1/(n_1^{s_1} >... n_k^{s_k})\}$ with weight $w=\sum_{i=1}^k s_i$ and depth $k$ and for Euler sums…

The multiple zeta values (MZVs) have been studied extensively in recent years. Currently there exist a few different types of $q$-analogs of the MZVs ($q$-MZVs) defined and studied by mathematicians and physicists. In this paper, we give a…

We investigate pairs of diagonal cubic equations with integral coefficients. For a class of such Diophantine systems with 11 or more variables, we are able to establish that the number of integral solutions in a large box is at least as…

The (generalized) WDVV equations for the prepotentials in $2d$ topological and $4,5d$ Seiberg-Witten models are covariant with respect to non-linear transformations, described in terms of solutions of associated linear problem. Both…

In this paper we shall prove that every Witten multiple zeta value of weight w>3 attached to sl(4) at nonnegative integer arguments is a finite rational linear combinations of MZVs of the weight w and the depths three or less, except for…

We give a conjectural formula for the characteristic number of rational cuspidal curves in the projective plane by extending the idea of Kontsevich's recursion formula (namely, pulling back the equality of two divisors in the four pointed…

In this paper we define multiple Dedekind zeta values (MDZV), using a new type of iterated integrals, called iterated integrals on a membrane. One should consider MDZV as a number theoretic generalization of Euler's multiple zeta values.…
