In this Ph.D. dissertation (2018, Emory University) we prove theorems at the intersection of the additive and multiplicative branches of number theory, bringing together ideas from partition theory, $q$-series, algebra, modular forms and…

We consider the Mahler measure of the polynomial 1+x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4, which is the first case not yet evaluated explicitly. A conjecture due to F. Rodriguez-Villegas represents this Mahler measure as a special value at the point 4 of the…

We study a polynomial interpolation of finite multiple zeta and zeta-star values with variable $t$, which is an analogue of interpolated multiple zeta values introduced by Yamamoto. We introduce several relations among them and, in…

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…

In the study on multiple zeta values, the duality formula is one of the families of basic relations and plays an important role in the investigation of algebraic structure of the space spanned by all multiple zeta values along with the…

We establish a correspondence between vector-valued modular forms with respect to a symmetric tensor representation and quasimodular forms. This is carried out by first obtaining an explicit isomorphism between the space of vector-valued…

Zagier introduced special bases for weakly holomorphic modular forms to give the new proof of Borcherds' theorem on the infinite product expansions of integer weight modular forms on $\SL_2(\ZZ)$ with a Heegner divisor. These good bases…

In this paper, we give a formula that connects two variants of multiple zeta values; multitangent functions and symmetric multiple zeta values. As an application of this formula, we give two results. First, we prove Bouillot's conjecture on…

In this paper we shall define the renormalization of the multiple $q$-zeta values (M$q$ZV) which are special values of multiple $q$-zeta functions $\zeta_q(s_1,...,s_d)$ when the arguments are all positive integers or all non-positive…

In this paper, we study multiple zeta values (abbreviated as MZV's) over function fields in positive characteristic. Our main result is to prove Thakur's basis conjecture, which plays the analogue of Hoffman's basis conjecture for real…

Symmetric multiple zeta values (SMZVs) are elements in the ring of all multiple zeta values modulo the ideal generated by $\zeta(2)$ introduced by Kaneko-Zagier as counterparts of finite multiple zeta values. It is known that symmetric…

We show that there is a relationship between modular forms and totally odd multiple zeta values, by relating the matrix $E_{N,r}$, whose entries are given by the polynomial representations of the Ihara action, with even period polynomials.…

We study the algebra of certain $q$-series, called bi-brackets, whose coefficients are given by weighted sums over partitions. These series incorporate the theory of modular forms for the full modular group as well as the theory of multiple…

Formal multiple zeta values allow to study multiple zeta values by algebraic methods in a way that the open question about their transcendence is circumvented. In this note we show that Hoffman's basis conjecture for formal multiple zeta…

Notable results on the special values of $L$-functions of Siegel modular forms were obtained by J. Sturm in the case when the degree $n$ is even and the weight $k$ is an integer. In this paper we extend this method to half-integer weights…

This paper is a culmination of [CM20] on the study of multiple zeta values (MZV's) over function fields in positive characteristic. For any finite place $v$ of the rational function field $k$ over a finite field, we prove that the $v$-adic…

We confirm a conjecture about the construction of basis elements for the multiple zeta values (MZVs) at weight 27 and weight 28. Both show as expected one element that is twofold extended. This is done with some lengthy computer algebra…

We give systematic method to evaluate a large class of one-dimensional integral relating to multiple zeta values (MZV) and colored MZV. We also apply the technique of iterated integrals and regularization to elucidate the nature of some…

We introduce the notion of finite multiple harmonic q-series at a primitive root of unity and show that these specialize to the finite multiple zeta value (FMZV) and the symmetrized multiple zeta value (SMZV) through an algebraic and…

This is the write-up of a talk given in honour of Prof. Ihara's 80th Birthday conference in Kyoto in 2018. After briefly reviewing the work of Ihara on the projective line minus 3 points, I outline the main ideas in the proof of the…
