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…

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…
