Motivic Linebarger–Zhao conjecture for multiple zeta star values

At least 9 years old · documented by

Let ai,ci∈N∗a_i,c_i\in\mathbb{N}^{\ast} with ci≠2c_i\neq 2, and define

γi=ci−3+2δci,\gamma_i=c_i-3+2\delta_{c_i},

where δc=δc=1\delta_c=\delta_{c=1} equals 11 if c=1c=1 and 00 otherwise. Define

B0=(−1)2a0−δc1(2a0+1−δc1),B_0=(-1)^{2a_0-\delta_{c_1}}(2a_0+1-\delta_{c_1}), Bi=(−1)2ai−δci−δci+1(2ai+3−δci−δci+1),B_i=(-1)^{2a_i-\delta_{c_i}-\delta_{c_{i+1}}}(2a_i+3-\delta_{c_i}-\delta_{c_{i+1}}),

and

Bp=(−1)2ap+1−δcp(2ap+2−δcp).B_p=(-1)^{2a_p+1-\delta_{c_p}}(2a_p+2-\delta_{c_p}).

Here \text{\boldmath 1}^{\gamma_i} denotes a string of γi\gamma_i ones. Motivic Linebarger–Zhao conjecture. Each motivic multiple zeta star value satisfies

ζ⋆,m(\boldmath2a0,c1,…,cp,\boldmath2ap)=(−1)1+δc1ζ♯,m(B0,\boldmath1γ1,…,\boldmath1γi,Bi,…,Bp).\zeta^{\star,\mathfrak{m}}(\text{\boldmath $2$}^{a_0},c_1,\ldots,c_p,\text{\boldmath $2$}^{a_p})=(-1)^{1+\delta_{c_1}}\zeta^{\sharp,\mathfrak{m}}(B_0,\text{\boldmath $1$}^{\gamma_1},\ldots,\text{\boldmath $1$}^{\gamma_i},B_i,\ldots,B_p).

This predicts an expression of every motivic multiple zeta star value as a motivic Euler sharp sum. The section presents it as conjectural and does not establish the identity in full.
