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…

Let $l\ge 1$ be an integer. For any multiple index $\mathbf{s}=(s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_l)\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}^l$ with $s_l>1$, the multiple zeta value (MZV for short) is defined by \begin{align*} \zeta(s_1,s_2,\cdots,s_l):=\sum_{1\leq…

Riemann zeta values are generalized to multiple zeta values (MZVs) by use of nested sums, and MZVs are generalized to regularized multiple zeta values (RMZVs) by regularization of divergent infinite series. In the present paper, we prove…

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…

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…

We give a new proof of the identity $\zeta(\{2,1\}^l)=\zeta(\{3\}^l)$ of the multiple zeta values, where $l=1,2,\dots$, using generating functions of the underlying generalized polylogarithms. In the course of study we arrive at…

In studying the depth filtration on multiple zeta values, difficulties quickly arise due to a disparity between it and the coradical filtration. In particular, there are additional relations in the depth graded algebra coming from period…

We establish a new class of relations among the multiple zeta values \zeta(k_1,k_2,...,k_n), which we call the cyclic sum identities. These identities have an elementary proof, and imply the "sum theorem" for multiple zeta values. They also…

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…
