In this note, we prove the irrationality of $\zeta(5)$ and generalize the method to prove the irrationality of all higher odd zeta values. Our proof relies on the method of contradiction, existence of solution of a system of Linear…

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…

The sum formulas for multiple zeta(-star) values and symmetric multiple zeta(-star) values bear a striking resemblance. We explain the resemblance in a rather straightforward manner using an identity that involves the Schur multiple zeta…

We study generating functions for multiple zeta star values in general form. These generating functions provide a connection between multiple zeta star values and multiple Euler sums, which allows us to express each multiple zeta star value…

We combine the powerful method of Wilf-Zeilberger pairs with systematic theory of multiple zeta values to prove a large number of series identities due to Z.W. Sun, many of them have been long standing conjectures.

Let $\Theta = (\theta_1,\theta_2,\theta_3)\in \mathbb{R}^3$. Suppose that $1,\theta_1,\theta_2,\theta_3$ are linearly independent over $\mathbb{Z}$. For Diophantine exponents $$ \alpha(\Theta) = \sup \{\gamma >0:\,\,\, \limsup_{t\to…

Recently, the present authors jointly with Tauraso found a family of binomial identities for multiple harmonic sums (MHS) on strings $(\{2\}^a,c,\{2\}^b)$ that appeared to be useful for proving new congruences for MHS as well as new…

In this paper we discuss a general problem on metrical Diophantine approximation associated with a system of linear forms. The main result is a zero-one law that extends one-dimensional results of Cassels and Gallagher. The paper contains a…

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.

The Kaneko-Zagier conjecture states that finite and symmetric multiple zeta values satisfy the same relations. In the previous work with H.~Bachmann and Y.~Takeyama, we proved that the finite and symmetric multiple zeta value are obtained…

We define the interpolated polynomial multiple zeta values as a generalization of all of multiple zeta values, multiple zeta-star values, interpolated multiple zeta values, symmetric multiple zeta values, and polynomial multiple zeta…

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 present a concise method for deriving an explicit formula for $p$-adic multiple zeta values. The formula features a variant of multiple harmonic sums, termed binomial multiple harmonic sums.

Let $d$ be a positive integer. Let $p$ be a prime number. Let $\alpha$ be a real algebraic number of degree $d+1$. We establish that there exist a positive constant $c$ and infinitely many algebraic numbers $\xi$ of degree $d$ such that…
