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

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 αN\alpha\in\mathbb{N}, and let harpα\operatorname{har}_{p^{\alpha}} denote the corresponding prime multiple harmonic sums. Multiple-harmonic-sum period conjecture. Any equality between prime multiple harmonic sums harpα\operatorname{har}_{p^{\alpha}} that is valid either for all primes pp prime to NN, or for infinitely many αN\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.
