On Mordell-Tornheim sums and multiple zeta values

Number Theory 2012-05-02 v1

Abstract

We prove that any Mordell-Tornheim sum with positive integer arguments can be expressed as a rational linear combination of multiple zeta values of the same weight and depth. By a result of Tsumura, it follows that any Mordell-Tornheim sum with weight and depth of opposite parity can be expressed as a rational linear combination of products of multiple zeta values of lower depth.
