In this paper we shall define the renormalization of the multiple $q$-zeta values (M$q$ZV) which are special values of multiple $q$-zeta functions $\zeta_q(s_1,...,s_d)$ when the arguments are all positive integers or all non-positive…

Ramanujan derived a sequence of even weight $2n$ quasimodular forms $U_{2n}(q)$ from derivatives of Jacobi's weight $3/2$ theta function. Using the generating function for this sequence, one can construct sequences of quasimodular forms of…

The Chowla--Milnor conjecture predicts the linear independence of certain Hurwitz zeta values. In this paper, we prove that for any fixed integer $k \geqslant 2$, the dimension of the $\mathbb{Q}$-linear span of…

We study the algebra of certain $q$-series, called bi-brackets, whose coefficients are given by weighted sums over partitions. These series incorporate the theory of modular forms for the full modular group as well as the theory of multiple…

We study the algebra MD of generating function for multiple divisor sums and its connections to multiple zeta values. The generating functions for multiple divisor sums are formal power series in q with coefficients in Q arising from the…

We introduce and study higher depth quantum modular forms. We construct two families of examples coming from rank two false theta functions, whose "companions" in the lower half-plane can be also realized both as double Eichler integrals…

In his "lost notebook'', Ramanujan used iterated derivatives of two theta functions to define sequences of $q$-series $\{U_{2t}(q)\}$ and $\{V_{2t}(q)\}$ that he claimed to be quasimodular. We give the first explicit proof of this claim by…

We explore the theory of multiple zeta values (MZVs) and some of their $q$-generalisations. Multiple zeta values are numerical quantities that satisfy several combinatorial relations over the rationals. These relations include two…

It is well known that $\zeta(2)=\pi^2/6$ as discovered by Euler. In this paper we present the following two $q$-analogues of this celebrated formula:…

An infinite class of relations between modular forms is constructed that generalizes evaluations of the Dirichlet beta function at odd positive integers. The work is motivated by a base case appearing in Ramanujan's Notebooks and a parallel…

Brown showed that the affine ring of the motivic path torsor $\pi_1^{\text{mot}}(\mathbb{P}^1 \backslash \left\{0,1,\infty\right\}, \vec{1}_0, -\vec{1}_1)$, whose periods are multiple zeta values, generates the Tannakian category…

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…

Bloch-Okounkov studied certain functions on partitions $f$ called shifted symmetric polynomials. They showed that certain $q$-series arising from these functions (the so-called \emph{$q$-brackets} $\left<f\right>_q$) are quasimodular forms.…

This note is a compilation of related research on modular relations for multiple zeta values. Roughly speaking, modular relations are (homogeneous) linear relations of multiple zeta values of fixed weight whose coefficients are `originated'…

We show that some $q$-series such as universal mock theta functions are linear sums of theta quotients and mock Jacobi forms of weight 1/2, which become holomorphic parts of real analytic modular forms when they are restricted to torsion…

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…

Let $f(q)$ denote Ramanujan's mock theta function \[f(q) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a(n) q^{n} := 1+\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{q^{n^{2}}}{(1+q)^{2}(1+q^{2})^{2}\cdots(1+q^{n})^{2}}.\] It is known that there are many linear congruences for the…

We provide a data mine of proven results for multiple zeta values (MZVs) of the form $\zeta(s_1,s_2,...,s_k)=\sum_{n_1>n_2>...>n_k>0}^\infty \{1/(n_1^{s_1} >... n_k^{s_k})\}$ with weight $w=\sum_{i=1}^k s_i$ and depth $k$ and for Euler sums…

For the quantum integer [n]_q = 1+q+q^2+... + q^{n-1} there is a natural polynomial multiplication such that [mn]_q = [m]_q \otimes_q [n]_q. This multiplication is given by the functional equation f_{mn}(q) = f_m(q) f_n(q^m), defined on a…

This paper studies a zeta function of two complex variables (w, s) attached to an algebraic number field K, introduced by van der Geer and Schoof, which is based on an analogue of the Riemann-Roch theorem for number fields using Arakelov…
