In this paper, we present some results on the $a$-points of the symmetric sum of the Euler-Zagier multiple zeta function. Our first three results are for the $a$-points free region of the function. The fourth result is the Riemann-von Mangoldt type formula. In the last two results, we study the real parts of $a$-points of the function.
We introduce finite and symmetric Mordell-Tornheim type of multiple zeta values and give a new approach to the Kaneko-Zagier conjecture stating that the finite and symmetric multiple zeta values satisfy the same relations.
We study a refinement of the symmetric multiple zeta value, called the $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta value, by considering its finite truncation. More precisely, two kinds of regularizations (harmonic and shuffle) give two kinds of the $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta values, thus we introduce two kinds of truncations correspondingly. Then we show that our truncations tend to the corresponding $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta values, and satisfy the harmonic and shuffle relations, respectively. This gives a new proof of the double shuffle relations for $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta value…
Hirose, Saito, and the author established the weighted sum formula for finite multiple zeta(-star) values. In this paper, we present its alternative proof. The proof is also valid for symmetric multiple zeta(-star) values.
The $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta values were defined Jarossay, which have been studied as a real analogue of $\boldsymbol{p}$-adic finite multiple zeta values. In this paper, we consider the star analogues based on several regularization processes of multiple zeta-star values: harmonic regularization, shuffle regularization, and Kaneko-Yamamoto's type regularization. We also present the cyclic sum formula for $t$-adic symmetric multiple zeta(-star) values, which is the counterpart of that for $\boldsymbol{p}$-adic finite multiple zeta(-star) values obtained by Kawasaki. The proof uses our …
Recently, the higher-order q-Euler polynomials and multiple q-Euler zeta functions are introduced by T. Kim ([8, 9]). In this paper, we investigate some symmetric properties of the multiple q-Euler zeta function and derive various identities concerning the higher-order q-Euler polynomials from the symmetric properties of the multiple q-Euler zeta functions.
For compact, even-dimensional, locally symmetric spaces, we obtain precise estimates on the number of singularities of Selberg's and Ruelle's zeta functions considered by U. Bunke and M. Olbrich.
We prove that the meromorphic continuations of the Ruelle and Selberg zeta functions considered by Bunke and Olbrich are of finite order not larger than the dimension of the underlaying compact, odd-dimensional, locally symmetric space.
We derive approximate formulas for the logarithmic de- rivative of the Selberg and Ruelle zeta functions over compact, even- dimensional, locally symmetric spaces of rank one. The obtained for- mulas are given in terms of the zeta-singularities.
Some zeta functions which are naturally attached to the locally homogeneous vector bundles over compact locally symmetric spaces of rank one are investigated. We prove that such functions can be expressed in terms of entire functions whose order is not larger than the dimension of the corresponding compact, even-dimensional, locally symmetric space.
We consider the symmetric multiple zeta values in $\mathcal{S}_m$ without modulo $π^2$ reduction for indices in which $1$ and $3$ appear alternately. We investigate those values that can be expressed as a polynomial of the Riemann zeta values, and give a conjecturally complete list of explicit formulas for such values.
Symmetric multiple zeta values (SMZVs) are elements in the ring of all multiple zeta values modulo the ideal generated by $ζ(2)$ introduced by Kaneko-Zagier as counterparts of finite multiple zeta values. It is known that symmetric multiple zeta values satisfy double shuffle relations and duality relations. In this paper, we construct certain lifts of SMZVs which live in the ring generated by all multiple zeta values and $2πi$ as certain iterated integrals on $\mathbb{P}^{1}\setminus\{0,1,\infty\}$ along a certain closed path. We call this lifted values as refined symmetric multiple zeta value…
The cyclic sum formulas for multiple zeta and zeta-star values were respectively proved by Hoffman and Ohno, and Ohno and Wakabayashi. Kawasaki and Oyama obtained an analogous formulas for finite multiple zeta and zeta-star values. In this paper, we give a generalization of Kawasaki and Oyama's results.
We prove a new linear relation for multiple zeta values. This is a natural generalization of the restricted sum formula proved by Eie, Liaw and Ong. We also present an analogous result for finite multiple zeta values.
In this paper we define a symmetric zeta function. We show that it can be analytically continued to a meromorphic function on $\mathbb{C}^3$ with only simple poles at some special hyperplanes. We also calculate the value of a multiple residue at one special point. For a divergent multiple series, which can be viewed as the value of the symmetric zeta function at the point $(1,1,1)$, we give a very detailed analysis on its growth and we relate it to the classical Euler constant.
Ohno's relation states that a certain sum, which we call an Ohno type sum, of multiple zeta values remains unchanged if we replace the base index by its dual index. In view of Oyama's theorem concerning Ohno type sums of finite and symmetric multiple zeta values, Kaneko looked at Ohno type sums of finite and symmetric multiple zeta-star values and made a conjecture on the generating function for a specific index of depth three. In this paper, we confirm this conjecture and further give a formula for arbitrary indices of depth three.
We show how infinite series of a certain type involving generalized harmonic numbers can be computed using a knowledge of symmetric functions and multiple zeta values. In particular, we prove and generalize some identities recently conjectured by J. Choi, and give several more families of identities of a similar nature.
An identity involving symmetric sums of regularized multiple zeta-star values of harmonic type was proved by Hoffman. In this paper, we prove an identity of shuffle type. We use Bell polynomials appearing in the study of set partitions to prove the identity.
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 values. We also obtain the sum formula for polynomial multiple zeta(-star) values in terms of generating functions, simultaneously generalizing the sum formulas for multiple zeta(-star) values and symmetric multiple zeta(-star) values.
We introduce an algebraic formulation of cyclic sum formulas for multiple zeta values and for multiple zeta-star values. We also present an algebraic proof of cyclic sum formulas for multiple zeta values and for multiple zeta-star values by reducing them to Kawashima relation.
We obtain a weighted sum formula of the zeta values at even arguments, and a weighted sum formula of the multiple zeta values with even arguments and its zeta-star analogue. The weight coefficients are given by (symmetric) polynomials of the arguments. These weighted sum formulas for the zeta values and for the multiple zeta values were conjectured by L. Guo, P. Lei and J. Zhao.
We present a unified approach which gives completely elementary proofs of three weighted sum formulae for double zeta values. This approach also leads to new evaluations of sums relating to the harmonic numbers, the alternating double zeta values, and the Witten zeta function. We discuss a heuristic for finding or dismissing the existence of similar simple sums. We also produce some new sums from recursions involving the Riemann zeta and the Dirichlet beta functions.
A typical formula of multiple zeta values is the sum formula which expresses a Riemann zeta value as a sum of all multiple zeta values of fixed weight and depth. Recently weighted sum formulas, which are weighted analogues of the sum formula, have been studied by many people. In this paper, we give two formulas of weighted sums with two parameters of multiple zeta values. As applications of the formulas, we find some linear combinations of multiple zeta values which can be expressed as polynomials of usual zeta values with coeffcients in the rational polynomial ring generated by the two parame…
The sum formula is a well known relation in the field of the multiple zeta values. In this paper, we present its generalization for the Euler-Zagier multiple zeta function.
The main object of this paper is to obtain several symmetric properties of the q-Zeta type functions. As applications of these properties, we give some new interesting identities for the modified q-Genocchi polynomials. Finally, our applications are shown to lead to a number of interesting results which we state in the present paper.
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 as an `algebraic' and `analytic' limit at $q\rightarrow 1$ of a certain truncated multiple harmonic $q$-series, and studied its relations in order to give partial evidence of the Kaneko-Zagier conjecture. In this paper, we start with truncated multiple harmonic $q$-series of level $N$, which is a $q$-analogue of the truncated colored multiple zeta value. We i…
We prove a sum formula with 4 parameters among finite alternating multiple zeta values which can be regarded as an alternating version of the result of Kamano on finite multiple zeta values.
We prove a new linear relation for a q-analogue of multiple zeta values. It is a q-extension of the restricted sum formula obtained by Eie, Liaw and Ong for multiple zeta values.
We give a parameterized generalization of the sum formula for quadruple zeta values. The generalization has four parameters, and is invariant under a cyclic group of order four. By substituting special values for the parameters, we also obtain weighted sum formulas for quadruple zeta values, which contain some known results.
We prove a sum-shuffle formula for multiple zeta values in Tate algebras (in positive characteristic), introduced in \cite{PEL3}.This follows from an analog result for double twisted power sums, implying that an ${\mathbb{F}\_p$-vector space generated by multiple zeta values in Tate algebras is an ${\mathbb{F}\_p$-algebra.
Interpolated multiple $q$-zeta values are deformation of multiple $q$-zeta values with one parameter, $t$, and restore classical multiple zeta values as $t = 0$ and $q \to 1$. In this paper, we discuss generating functions for sum of interpolated multiple $q$-zeta values with fixed weight, depth and $i$-height. The functions are systematically expressed in terms of the basic hypergeometric functions. Compared with the result of Ohno and Zagier, our result includes three generalizations: general height, $q$-deformation and $t$-interpolation. As an application, we prove some expected relations f…
We introduce an explicit formula for a reciprocal sum related to the Riemann zeta function at s=6, and pose one question related to a computational formula for larger values of s.
We show that the duality relation for the sum of multiple zeta values with fixed weight, depth and $k_1$ is deduced from the derivation relations, which was first conjectured by N. Kawasaki and T. Tanaka.
For each positive integer n, we determine the set of symmetric functions f for which the congruence f(p/1,p/2,...,p/(p-1)) \equiv 0 mod p^n holds for all sufficiently large primes p. Our determination is conditional on a conjecture regarding the modulo p independence of Bernoulli numbers. In a recent work the author introduced a new truncated analogue of the multiple zeta function and investigated a class of relations among values of this function at positive integers. The question answered in the present work is equivalent to the determination of the relations satisfied by values of the corre…
Two classes of relations for multiple zeta values are handled algebraically. A restricted sum formula is proved by Eie, Liaw and Ong. The derivation relation is proved by Ihara, Kaneko and Zagier. In this paper we show the latter implies the former.
The Ohno relation is a well-known relation among multiple zeta values. Hirose, Onozuka, Sato, and the author investigated the sum related to the Ohno relation and presented two types of new relations and five conjectural formulas. This paper proves one of these formulas.
We give some restricted sum formulas for double zeta values whose arguments satisfy certain congruence conditions modulo 2 or 6, and also give an application to identities showed by Ramanujan for sums of products of Bernoulli numbers with a gap of 6.
The alternating multiple harmonic sums are partial sums of the infinite series defining the Euler sums which are the alternating version of the multiple zeta value series. In this paper, we present some systematic structural results of the van Hamme type congruences of these sums, collected as finite Euler sums. Moreover, we relate this to the structure of the Euler sums, which generalizes the corresponding result of the multiple zeta values. We also provide a few conjectures with extensive numerical support.
We investigate the distribution of the zeros of partial sums of the Riemann zeta-function, sum_{n\leq X}n^{-s}, estimating the number of zeros up to height T, the number of zeros to the right of a given vertical line, and other aspects of their horizontal distribution.
A discussion involving the evaluation of the sum $\sum_{0<γ\le T} |ζ(1/2+iγ)|^2$ is presented, where $γ$ denotes imaginary parts of complex zeros of the Riemann zeta-function $ζ(s)$. Three theorems involving certain integrals related to this sum are proved, and the sum is unconditionally shown to be $\ll T\log^2T\log\log T$.
We define and apply a method to study the non-vanishing of $p$-adic cyclotomic multiple zeta values. We prove the non-vanishing of certain cyclotomic multiple harmonic sums, and, via a formula proved in another paper, which expresses a cyclotomic multiple harmonic sums as an infinite sum of products of $p$-adic cyclotomic multiple zeta values, this implies the non-vanishing of certain $p$-adic cyclotomic multiple zeta values.
The aim of this paper is to define new generating functions. By applying the Mellin transformation formula to these generating functions, we define q-analogue of Genocchi zeta function, q-analogue Hurwitz type Genocchi zeta function, q-analogue Genocchi type l-function and two-variable q-Genocchi type l-function. Furthermore, we construct new genereting functions of q-Hardy-Berndt type sums and q-Hardy-Berndt type sums attached to Dirichlet character. We also give some new relations related to q-Hardy-Berndt type sums and q-Genocchi zeta function as well.
Euler's sum formula and its multi-variable and weighted generalizations form a large class of the identities of multiple zeta values. In this paper we prove a family of identities involving Bernoulli numbers and apply them to obtain infinitely many weighted sum formulas for double zeta values and triple zeta values where the weight coefficients are given by symmetric polynomials. We give a general conjecture in arbitrary depth at the end of the paper.
In the present paper, for $s,t,u \in {\mathbb{C}}$, we show rapidly (or globally) convergent series representations of the Tornheim double zeta function $T(s,t,u)$ and (desingularized) symmetric Tornheim double zeta functions. As a corollary, we give a new a proof of known results on the values of $T(s,s,s)$ at non-positive integers and the location of the poles of $T(s,s,s)$. Furthermore, we prove that the function $T(s,s,s)$ can not be written by a polynomial in the form of $\sum_{k=1}^j c_k \prod_{r=1}^q ζ^{d_{kr}} (a_{kr} s + b_{kr})$, where $a_{kr}, b_{kr}, c_k \in {\mathbb{C}}$ and $d_{k…
In this paper, we are interested by the cotangent sum c0(q/p) related to the Estermann zeta function for the special case when q = 1 and get explicit formula for its series expansion, which represents an improvement of the identity (2:1) Theorem (2:1) in the recent work [11].
We consider sums of the form $\sum ϕ(γ)$, where $ϕ$ is a given function, and $γ$ ranges over the ordinates of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function in a given interval. We show how the numerical estimation of such sums can be accelerated by a simple device, and give examples involving both convergent and divergent infinite sums.
