Our main aim in this paper is to give a foundation of the theory of $p$-adic multiple zeta values. We introduce (one variable) $p$-adic multiple polylogarithms by Coleman's $p$-adic iterated integration theory. We define $p$-adic multiple…

Associators were introduced by Drinfel'd in as a monodromy representation of a KZ equation. Associators can be briefly described as formal series in two non-commutative variables satisfying three quations. These three equations yield a…

We present a concise method for deriving an explicit formula for $p$-adic multiple zeta values. The formula features a variant of multiple harmonic sums, termed binomial multiple harmonic sums.

We investigate a pattern in the $\alpha'$ expansion of tree-level open superstring amplitudes which correlates the appearance of higher depth multiple zeta values with that of simple zeta values in a particular way. We rephrase this…

We introduce adjoint cyclotomic multiple zeta values and cyclotomic multiple harmonic values. They are two variants of cyclotomic multiple zeta values, closely related to each other. They arise as key tools for the study of $p$-adic…

We prove a kind of integral expressions for finite multiple harmonic sums and multiple zeta-star values. Moreover, we introduce a class of multiple integrals, associated with some combinatorial data (called 2-labeled posets). This class…

It is shown that novel relations between multiple zeta values and single-variable multiple polylogarithms at 1/2 (delta values) can be derived by comparing two distinct, yet a priori equal, series formulae for the Drinfeld associator (from…

Some combinatorial aspects of relations between multiple zeta values of depths 2 and 3 and period polynomials are discussed.

We give a new expression of the multiple harmonic sum, which serves as a refinement of the iterated integral expression of the multiple zeta value, and prove it using the so-called connected sum method. Based on this fact, by taking two…

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…

We investigate relations between elliptic multiple zeta values and describe a method to derive the number of indecomposable elements of given weight and length. Our method is based on representing elliptic multiple zeta values as iterated…

We prove that the algebra of p-adic multi-zeta values are contained in another algebra which is defined explicitly in terms of series.

We study some Lie algebras defined by solutions to the double shuffle equations with poles and construct families of explicit solutions to these equations in all weights and depths. These provide universal coordinates in which to write down…

In this paper, we study some Euler-Ap\'ery-type series which involve central binomial coefficients and (generalized) harmonic numbers. In particular, we establish elegant explicit formulas of some series by iterated integrals and…

Ap\'ery's remarkable discovery of rapidly converging continued fractions with small coefficients for $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3)$ has led to a flurry of important activity in an incredible variety of different directions. Our purpose is to…

The derivation relations for multiple zeta values is proved by Ihara, Kaneko and Zagier. We prove its counterpart for finite multiple zeta values.

We give a proof of double shuffle relations for $p$-adic multiple zeta values by developing higher dimensional version of tangential base points and discussing a relationship with two (and one) variable $p$-adic multiple polylogarithms.

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…

In this paper we prove some new identities for multiple zeta values and multiple zeta star values of arbitrary depth by using the methods of integral computations of logarithm function and iterated integral representations of series. By…

Multiple zeta values are real numbers defined by an infinite series generalizing values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. Finite truncations of this series are called multiple harmonic sums and are known to have interesting…
