This paper develops an approach to the evaluation of quadratic Euler sums that involve harmonic numbers. The approach is based on simple integral computations of polyloga- rithms. By using the approach, we establish some relations between…

Let $\Bbb Z$ and $\Bbb N$ be the set of integers and the set of positive integers, respectively. For $a,b,c,d,n\in\Bbb N$ let $t(a,b,c,d;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax(x-1)/2+by(y-1)/2+cz(z-1)/2 +dw(w-1)/2$…

In this paper, we consider a discrete version of iterated integrals by the naive (equally divided) Riemann sum. In particular, basic three formulas for usual iterated integrals are discritized. Moreover, we proved cyclic sum formulas for…

We study properties of coefficients of a linear form, originating from a multiple integral. As a corollary, we prove Vasilyev's conjecture, connected with the problem of irrationality of the Riemann zeta function at odd integers.

In this paper we show that the iterated integrals on products of one variable multiple polylogarithms from 0 to 1 are actually multiple zeta values if they are convergent. In the divergent case, we define regularized iterated integrals from…

We consider the problem of uniform interpolation of functions with values in a complex inner product space of finite dimension. This problem can be casted within a modified weighted pluripotential theoretic framework. Indeed, in the…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional simple complex Lie algebra. A layer sum is introduced as the sum of formal exponentials of the distinct weights appearing in an irreducible $\mathfrak{g}$-module. It is argued that the character of…

We study logarithmic integrals of the form $\int_0^1 x^i\ln^n(x)\ln^m(1-x)dx$. They are expressed as a rational linear combination of certain rational numbers $(n,m)_i$, which we call tiered binomial coefficients, and products of the zeta…

We introduce the notion of a categorical valuative invariant of polyhedra or matroids, in which alternating sums of numerical invariants are replaced by split exact sequences in an additive category. We provide categorical lifts of a number…

Multivariate polynomials arise in many different disciplines. Representing such a polynomial as a vector of univariate polynomials can offer useful insight, as well as more intuitive understanding. For this, techniques based on tensor…

We prove and generalize several recent conjectures of Z.-W. Sun surrounding binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers. We show that Sun's series and their analogs can be represented as cyclotomic multiple zeta values of levels…

The finite n-th polylogarithm li_n(z) in Z/p[z] is defined as the sum on k from 1 to p-1 of z^k/k^n. We state and prove the following theorem. Let Li_k:C_p to C_p be the p-adic polylogarithms defined by Coleman. Then a certain linear…

For any positive integer $N$ let $\mu_N$ be the group of the $N$th roots of unity. In this note we shall study the $\Q$-linear relations among values of multiple polylogarithms evaluated at $\mmu_N$. We show that the standard relations…

The values at positive integers of the polyzeta functions are solutions of the polynomial equations arising from Drinfeld's associators, which have numerous applications in quantum algebra. Considered as iterated integrals they become…

We introduce the Z-polynomial of a matroid, which we define in terms of the Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial. We then exploit a symmetry of the Z-polynomial to derive a new recursion for Kazhdan-Lusztig coefficients. We solve this recursion,…
