Lara Rodríguez and Thakur's conjecture on zeta-like multizeta values

For a multizeta value ζA(s1,,sr)\zeta_{A}(s_{1},\ldots,s_{r}) of weight w:=i=1rsiw:=\sum_{i=1}^{r}s_i, call it zeta-like if the ratio ζA(s1,,sr)/ζA(w)\zeta_{A}(s_{1},\ldots,s_{r})/\zeta_{A}(w) is algebraic over kk. A multizeta value is Eulerian when its ratio to the corresponding power of the Carlitz period is in kk. Lara Rodríguez and Thakur's conjecture. If ζA(s1,,sr)\zeta_{A}(s_{1},\ldots,s_{r}) is zeta-like, then

ζA(s2,,sr)\zeta_{A}(s_{2},\ldots,s_{r})

is Eulerian. This conjecture concerns the inheritance of Eulerian properties by the tail of a zeta-like multizeta value. The paper applies its main criterion to confirm this conjecture, so the assertion is solved.
