The multiple-harmonic-sum analogue of the Kontsevich–Zagier period conjecture

At least 9 years old · documented by

Fix N>1N>1 and work on P1−{0,μN,∞}\mathbb{P}^{1}-\{0,\mu_N,\infty\}. Let pp range over primes not dividing NN, let α∈N\alpha\in\mathbb{N}, and let har⁡pα\operatorname{har}_{p^{\alpha}} denote the corresponding prime multiple harmonic sums. Multiple-harmonic-sum period conjecture. Any equality between prime multiple harmonic sums har⁡pα\operatorname{har}_{p^{\alpha}} that is valid either for all primes pp prime to NN, or for infinitely many α∈N\alpha\in\mathbb{N} in ∏pQp\prod_p\mathbb{Q}_p, can be transformed from one side to the other using the stated operations on the stated algebra of functions, simultaneously for all such pp, respectively for all such α\alpha. This is proposed as a Kontsevich–Zagier-type completeness principle for iterated series; the source gives no resolution.
