Doubles melanges des polylogarithmes multiples aux racines de l'unit'e

The shuffle product plays an important role in the study of multiple zeta values. This is expressed in terms of multiple integrals, and also as a product in a certain non-commutative polynomial algebra over the rationals in two indeterminates. In this paper, we give a new interpretation of the shuffle product. In fact, we prove that the procedure of shuffle products essentially coincides with that of partial fraction decompositions of multiple zeta values of root systems. As ...

We present a new proof of the extended double shuffle relation for multiple zeta values which notably does not rely on the use of integrals. This proof is based on a formula recently obtained by Maesaka, Watanabe, and the author.

In 1776, L. Euler proposed three methods, called prima methodus, secunda methodus and tertia methodus, to calculate formulae for double zeta values. However strictly speaking, his last two methods are mathematically incomplete and require more precise reformulation and more sophisticated arguments for their justification. In this paper, we reformulate his formulae, give their rigorous proofs and also clarify that the formulae can be derived from the extended double shuffle re...

In this paper, we investigate the shuffle product relations for Euler-Zagier multiple zeta functions as functional relations. To this end, we generalize the classical partial fraction decomposition formula and give two proofs. One is based on a connection formula for Gauss's hypergeometric functions, the other one is based on an elementary calculus. Though it is hard to write down explicit formula of the shuffle product relations for multiple zeta functions as in the case of ...

According to Hoffman's (2,3)-conjecture, the so-called double shuffle relations should imply that every multiple zeta value should express effectively in terms of multizetas whose entries are equal to either 2 or 3, with some explicitly computable rational coefficients. In February 2011, the existence of such Q-linear combinations was established by Francis Brown in all weights. Still, a desire exists to have effective access to these coefficients. In 2008, Masanobu Kaneko, M...

In this paper we consider iterated integrals of multiple polylogarithm functions and prove some explicit relations of multiple polylogarithm functions. Then we apply the relations obtained to find numerous formulas of alternating multiple zeta values in terms of unit-exponent alternating multiple zeta values. In particular, we prove several conjectures given by Borwein-Bradley-Broadhurst \cite{BBBL1997}, and give some general results. Furthermore, we discuss Kaneko-Yamamoto m...

Our main aim in this paper is to give a foundation of the theory of $p$-adic multiple zeta values. We introduce (one variable) $p$-adic multiple polylogarithms by Coleman's $p$-adic iterated integration theory. We define $p$-adic multiple zeta values to be special values of $p$-adic multiple polylogarithms. We consider the (formal) $p$-adic KZ equation and introduce the $p$-adic Drinfel'd associator by using certain two fundamental solutions of the $p$-adic KZ equation. We sh...

To describe the double shuffle relations between multiple polylogarithm values at $N$th roots of unity, Racinet attached to each finite cyclic group $G$ of order $N$ and each group embedding $\iota : G \to \mathbb{C}^{\times}$, a $\mathbb{Q}$-scheme $\mathsf{DMR}^{\iota}$ which associates to each commutative $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra $\mathbf{k}$, a set $\mathsf{DMR}^{\iota}(\mathbf{k})$ that can be decomposed as a disjoint union of sets $\mathsf{DMR}^{\iota}_{\lambda}(\mathbf{k})...

We introduce general q-deformed multiple polylogarithms which even in the dilogarithm case differ slightly from the deformation usually discussed in the literature. The merit of the deformation as suggested, here, is that q-deformed multiple polylogarithms define an algebra, then (as in the undeformed case). For the special case of q-deformed multiple zeta-values, we show that there exists even a noncommutative and noncocommutative Hopf algebra structure which is a deformatio...

In this paper we define a continuous version of multiple zeta functions with double variables. They can be analytically continued to meromorphic functions on $\mathbb{C}^r$ with only simple poles at some special hyperplanes. The evaluations of these functions at positive integers (continuous multiple zeta values) satisfy the first shuffle product and the second shuffle product. We proved that the dimension of the $\mathbb{Q}-$linear spaces generated by continuous multiple zet...
