In this paper, we establish some new identities of integrals involving multiple polylogarithm functions and their level two analogues in terms of Hurwitz-type multiple zeta (star) values. Using these identities, we provide new proofs of the…
The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, we consider the classical Mordell--Tornheim zeta values and their alternating version. It is well-known that these values can be expressed as rational linear combinations of multiple zeta values…
This paper concerns the $p$-adic multiple zeta values of integer indices that may contain zero or negative components. We introduce the admissibility and regularizability conditions for integer indices. We define the $p$-adic multiple zeta…
We define finite multiple zeta values (FMZVs) associated with some combinatorial objects, which we call 2-colored rooted trees, and prove that FMZVs associated with 2-colored rooted trees satisfying certain mild assumptions can be written…
Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finit continued fraction with all partial quotients being bounded by an absolute constant A. Recently (in 2011)…
Multiples zeta values (MZV's for short) in positive characteristic were introduced by Thakur as analogues of classical multiple zeta values of Euler. In this paper we give a systematic study of algebraic structures of MZV's in positive…
Multiple zeta functions of Arakawa-Kaneko and Euler-Zagier types are known as generalizations of the Riemann zeta function. In 2018, Kaneko and Tsumura proved that the multiple zeta functions of Arakawa-Kaneko type can be expressed as a…
In the large rank limit, for any nonexceptional affine algebra, the graded branching multiplicities known as one-dimensional sums, are conjectured to have a simple relationship with those of type A, which are known as generalized Kostka…
In this paper, we give elementary proofs of Zagier's formula for multiple zeta values involving Hoffman element and its odd variant due to Murakami. Zagier's formula was a key ingredient in the proof of Hoffman's conjecture. Moreover, using…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ denote the class of analytic and univalent ({\it i.e.}, one-to-one) functions $f(z)= z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$. For $f\in \mathcal{S}$, Ma proposed the…
Banks--Panzer--Pym have shown that the volume integrals appearing in Kontsevich's deformation quantization formula always evaluate to integer-linear combinations of multiple zeta values (MZVs). We prove a sort of converse, which they…
Let $p,x$ be real numbers, and $s$ be a complex number, with $\Re(s)>1-r$, $p\geq 1$, and $x+1>0$. The zeta function $Z^{\bf\alpha}_p(s;x)$ is defined by $$ Z^{\bf\alpha}_p(s;x) =\frac{1}{\Gamma(s)}\int^\infty_0 \frac{e^{-xt}}…
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…
Multiple modular values are a common generalisation of multiple zeta values and periods of modular forms, and are periods of a hypothetical Tannakian category of mixed modular motives. They are given by regularised iterated integrals on the…
We prove that the $\mathbb{Q}$-vector space generated by the multiple zeta values is generated by the finite real multiple zeta values introduced by Kaneko and Zagier.
The sum formula is one of the most well-known relations among multiple zeta values. This paper proves a conjecture of Kaneko predicting that an analogous formula holds for finite multiple zeta values.
In this paper, we completely classify the rational weights $k$ for which the Kaneko-Zagier (KZ) differential equation admits a fundamental system of solutions consisting of modular forms for a principal congruence subgroup $\Gamma(N)$. By…

We study multiple zeta values (MZVs) from the viewpoint of zeta-functions associated with the root systems which we have studied in our previous papers. In fact, the $r$-ple zeta-functions of Euler-Zagier type can be regarded as the…
