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…

We provide a proof of a conjecture by Zhao concerning the structure of certain relations among cyclotomic multiple zeta values in weight two. We formulate this conjecture in a broader algebraic setting in which we give a natural equivalence…

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…

Let $N$ and $p$ be prime numbers $\geq 5$ such that $p$ divides $N-1$. Let $I$ be Mazur's Eisenstein ideal of level $N$ and $H_+$ be the plus part of $H_1(X_0(N), \mathbf{Z}_p)$ for the complex conjugation. We give a conjectural explicit…

In 2015, Bachmann \cite{Ba3} conjectured that the~$\Q$-vector space~$\Zq$ of (formal)~$q$-analogues of Multiple Zeta Values (\qmzv s) is spanned by a very particular set compared to known spanning sets. In this work, we prove that this…

The Jacobian conjecture in dimension $n$ asserts that any polynomial endomorphism of $n$-dimensional affine space over a field of zero characteristic, with the Jacobian equal 1, is invertible. The Dixmier conjecture in rank $n$ asserts that…

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…

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.…

Multiple zeta values (MZVs, also called Euler sums or multiple harmonic series) are nested generalizations of the classical Riemann zeta function evaluated at integer values. The fact that an integral representation of MZVs obeys a shuffle…

We introduce a new deformation of multiple zeta value (MZV). It has one parameter $\omega$ satisfying $0<\omega<2$ and recovers MZV in the limit as $\omega \to +0$. It is defined in the same algebraic framework as a $q$-analogue 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…

In this paper, we define and study a variant of multiple zeta values (MZVs) of level four, called alternating multiple mixed values or alternating multiple $M$-values (AMMVs), forming a $\Q[i]$-subspace of the colored MZVs of level four.…

In this paper we define a continuous version of multiple zeta functions with double variables. They can be analytically continued to meromorphic functions on $\mathbb{C}^r$ with only simple poles at some special hyperplanes. The evaluations…

In recent years, a variety of variants of multiple zeta values (MZVs) have been defined and studied. One way to produce these variants is to restrict the indices in the definition of MZVs to some fixed parity pattern, which include…

The Kaneko--Zagier conjecture describes a correspondence between finite multiple zeta values and symmetric multiple zeta values. Its refined version has been established by Jarossay, Rosen and Ono--Seki--Yamamoto. In this paper, we…

Motivated by work of Zhang from the early `90s, Medvedev and Scanlon formulated the following conjecture. Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ and let $X$ be a quasiprojective variety defined over $K$ endowed with…

Even though Zaremba's conjecture remains open, Bourgain and Kontorovich solved the problem for a full density subset. Nevertheless, there are only a handful of explicit sequences known to satisfy the strong version of the conjecture, all of…

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…

The shuffle algebra on positive integers encodes the usual multiple zeta values (MZVs) (with positive arguments) thanks to the representations of MZVs by iterated Chen integrals of Kontsevich. Together with the quasi-shuffle (stuffle)…
