In this paper, we investigate linear relations among regularized motivic iterated integrals on $\mathbb{P}^{1}\setminus\{0,1,\infty\}$ of depth two, which we call regularized motivic double zeta values. Some mysterious connections between motivic multiple zeta values and modular forms are known, e.g. Gangl--Kaneko--Zagier relation for the totally odd double zeta values and Ihara--Takao relation for the depth graded motivic Lie algebra. In this paper, we investigate so-called non-admissible cases and give many new Gangl--Kaneko--Zagier type and Ihara--Takao type relations for regularized motivic double zeta values. Specifically, we construct linear relations among a certain family of regularized motivic double zeta values from odd period polynomials of modular forms for the unique index two congruence subgroup of the full modular group. This gives the first non trivial example of a construction of the relations among multiple zeta values (or their analogues) from modular forms for a congruence subgroup other than the ${\rm SL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z})$.
The Ohno relation for multiple zeta values can be formulated as saying that a certain operator, defined for indices, is invariant under taking duals. In this paper, we generalize the Ohno relation to regularized multiple zeta values by showing that, although the suitably generalized operator is not invariant under taking duals, the relation between its values at an index and at its dual index can be written explicitly in terms of the gamma function.
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.
It is conjectured that the regularized double shuffle relations give all algebraic relations among the multiple zeta values, and hence all other algebraic relations should be deduced from the regularized double shuffle relations. In this paper, we provide as many as the relations which can be derived from the regularized double shuffle relations, for example, the weighted sum formula of L. Guo and B. Xie, some evaluation formulas with even arguments and the restricted sum formulas of M. E. Hoffman and their generalizations.
What is the product of all {\em odious} integers, i.e., of all integers whose binary expansion contains an odd number of $1$'s? Or more precisely, how to define a product of these integers which is not infinite, but still has a "reasonable" definition? We will answer this question by proving that this product is equal to $π^{1/4} \sqrt{2 φe^{-γ}}$, where $γ$ and $φ$ are respectively the Euler-Mascheroni and the Flajolet-Martin constants.
We present explicit formulas for Hecke eigenforms as linear combinations of q-analogues of modified double zeta values. As an application, we obtain period polynomial relations and sum formulas for these modified double zeta values. These relations have similar shapes as the period polynomial relations of Gangl, Kaneko and Zagier and the usual sum formulas for classical double zeta values.
In this paper, we construct a family of generalized $L$-functions, one for each point $z$ in the upper half-plane. We prove that as $z$ approaches $i\infty$, these generalized $L$-functions converge to an $L$-function which can be written in terms of the Riemann zeta function.
Let $Λ= \{λ_{k}\}$ denote a sequence of complex numbers and assume that that the counting function $#\{λ_{k} \in Λ: | λ_{k}| < T\} =O(T^{n})$ for some integer $n$. From Hadamard's theorem, we can construct an entire function $f$ of order at most $n$ such that $Λ$ is the divisor $f$. In this article we prove, under reasonably general conditions, that the superzeta function $\Z_{f}(s,z)$ associated to $Λ$ admits a meromorphic continuation. Furthermore, we describe the relation between the regularized product of the sequence $z-Λ$ and the function $f$ as constructed as a Weierstrass product. In t…
We give a number field analogue of a result of Ramanujan, Hardy and Littlewood, thereby obtaining a modular relation involving the non-trivial zeros of the Dedekind zeta function. We also provide a Riesz-type criterion for the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis for $ζ_K(s)$. New elegant transformations are obtained when $K$ is a quadratic extension, one of which involves the modified Bessel function of the second kind.
We proof a Garrett-Böcherer decomposition of a vector valued Siegel Eisenstein series $E_{l,0}^2$ of genus 2 transforming with the Weil representation of $\text{Sp}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ on the group ring $\mathbb{C}[(L'/L)^2]$. We show that the standard zeta function associated to a vector valued common eigenform $f$ for the Weil representation can be meromorphically continued to the whole $s$-plane and that it satisfies a functional equation. The proof is based on an integral representation of this zeta function in terms of $f$ and $E_{l,0}^2$.
We show that the meromorphic modular forms recently considered by Bringmann and Kane can be obtained as images of regularized theta lifts of Poincaré series under weight raising operators. We use this fact in order to simplify the evaluation of the regularized pairing, also defined by Bringmann and Kane, of these functions with other meromorphic modular forms.
Multiple Eisenstein series are holomorphic functions in the complex upper-half plane, which can be seen as a crossbreed between multiple zeta values and classical Eisenstein series. They were originally defined by Gangl-Kaneko-Zagier in 2006, and since then, many variants and regularizations of them have been studied. They give a natural bridge between the world of modular forms and multiple zeta values. In this note, we give a new algebraic interpretation of stuffle regularized multiple Eisenstein series based on the Hopf algebra structure of the harmonic algebra introduced by Hoffman.
We consider modifications of Manin symbols in first homology groups of modular curves with p-adic integer coefficients for an odd prime p. We show that these symbols generate homology in primitive eigenspaces for the action of diamond operators, with a certain condition on the eigenspace that can be removed on Eisenstein parts. We apply this to prove the integrality of maps taking compatible systems of Manin symbols to compatible systems of zeta elements. In the work of the first two authors on an Iwasawa-theoretic conjecture of the third author, these maps are constructed with certain bounded…
In this paper we study generalizations of quadratic form Poincaré series, which naturally occur as outputs of theta lifts. Integrating against them yields evaluations of higher Green's functions. For this we require a new regularized inner product, which is of independent interest.
In this paper we show that the iterated integrals on products of one variable multiple polylogarithms from 0 to 1 are actually multiple zeta values if they are convergent. In the divergent case, we define regularized iterated integrals from 0 to 1. By the same method, we show that the regularized iterated integrals are also multiple zeta values. As an application, we give new series representations for multiple zeta values and calculate some interesting examples of iterated integrals.
Interpolated multiple zeta values can be regarded as interpolation polynomials of multiple zeta values and multiple zeta-star values. In this paper, we give some algebraic relations of interpolated multiple zeta values, such as the symmetric sum formula, the shuffle regularized sum formula, a weighted sum formula and some evaluation formulas with even arguments. All the algebraic relations provided in this paper are deduced from the extended double shuffle relations.
We develop a regularization for Petersson inner products of arbitrary weakly holomorphic modular forms, generalizing several known regularizations. As one application, we extend work of Duke, Imamoglu, and Toth on regularized inner products of weakly holomorphic modular forms of weights $0$ and $3/2$. These regularized inner products can be evaluated in terms of the coefficients of holomorphic parts of harmonic Maass forms of dual weights. Moreover, we study the errors of modularity of the holomorphic parts of such a harmonic Maass forms and show that they induce cocyles in the first parabolic…
Answering problems of Manin, we use the critical $L$-values of even weight $k\geq 4$ newforms $f\in S_k(Γ_0(N))$ to define zeta-polynomials $Z_f(s)$ which satisfy the functional equation $Z_f(s)=\pm Z_f(1-s)$, and which obey the Riemann Hypothesis: if $Z_f(ρ)=0$, then $\operatorname{Re}(ρ)=1/2$. The zeros of the $Z_f(s)$ on the critical line in $t$-aspect are distributed in a manner which is somewhat analogous to those of classical zeta-functions. These polynomials are assembled using (signed) Stirling numbers and "weighted moments" of critical values $L$-values. In analogy with Ehrhart polyno…
This work is an example driven overview article of recent works on the connection of multiple zeta values, modular forms and q-analogues of multiple zeta values given by multiple Eisenstein series.
Brown showed that the affine ring of the motivic path torsor $π_1^{\text{mot}}(\mathbb{P}^1 \backslash \left\{0,1,\infty\right\}, \vec{1}_0, -\vec{1}_1)$, whose periods are multiple zeta values, generates the Tannakian category $\mathsf{MT}(\mathbb{Z})$ of mixed Tate motives over $\mathbb{Z}$. Brown also introduced multiple modular values, which are periods of the relative completion of the fundamental group of the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}_{1,1}$ of elliptic curves. We prove that all motivic multiple zeta values may be expressed as $\mathbb{Q}[2 πi]$-linear combinations of motivic iterated Ei…
Let $M$ be a finite volume, non-compact hyperbolic Riemann surface, possibly with elliptic fixed points, and let $χ$ denote a finite dimensional unitary representation of the fundamental group of $M$. Let $Δ$ denote the hyperbolic Laplacian which acts on smooth sections of the flat bundle over $M$ associated to $χ$. From the spectral theory of $Δ$, there are three distinct sequences of numbers: The first coming from the eigenvalues of $L^{2}$ eigenfunctions, the second coming from resonances associated to the continuous spectrum, and the third being the set of negative integers. Using these se…
In this paper we establish a close connection between three notions at- tached to a modular subgroup. Namely the set of weight two meromorphic modular forms, the set of equivariant functions on the upper half-plane commuting with the action of the modular subgroup and the set of elliptic zeta functions generalizing the Weierstrass zeta functions. In particular, we show that the equivariant functions can be parameterized by modular objects as well as by elliptic objects.
The expansion of a modular graph function on a torus of modulus $τ$ near the cusp is given by a Laurent polynomial in $y= π\Im (τ)$ with coefficients that are rational multiples of single-valued multiple zeta-values, apart from the leading term whose coefficient is rational and exponentially suppressed terms. We prove that the coefficients of the non-leading terms in the Laurent polynomial of the modular graph function $D_N(τ)$ associated with a melon graph is free of irreducible multiple zeta-values and can be written as a polynomial in odd zeta-values with rational coefficients for arbitrary…
Emil Artin defined a zeta function for algebraic curves over finite fields and made a conjecture about them analogous to the famous Riemann hypothesis. This and other conjectures about these zeta functions would come to be called the Weil conjectures, which were proved by Weil for curves and later, by Deligne for varieties over finite fields. Much work was done in the search for a proof of these conjectures, including the development in algebraic geometry of a Weil cohomology theory for these varieties, which uses the Frobenius operator on a finite field. The zeta function is then expressed as…
We relate one-loop scattering amplitudes of massless open- and closed-string states at the level of their low-energy expansion. The modular graph functions resulting from integration over closed-string punctures are observed to follow from symmetrized open-string integrals through a tentative generalization of the single-valued projection known from genus zero.
We show that generating functions associated to the sequence of convergents of a quadratic irrational are related in a natural way to the dynam- ical zeta function of a hyperbolic automorphism of the 2-torus. As a corollary, this shows that the Lévy constant of a quadratic irrational appears naturally as the topological entropy of such maps.
In this PhD thesis we study holomorphic and non-holomorphic elliptic analogues of multiple zeta values, namely elliptic multiple zeta values and modular graph functions. Both classes of functions have been discovered very recently, and are involved in the computation of genus one superstring amplitudes. In particular, we obtain new results on the asymptotic expansion of these functions that allow us to perform explicit computations and point out analogies between genus zero and genus one amplitudes.
