MTWZ finite multiple zeta value algebraicity conjecture
MTWZ finite multiple zeta value algebraicity conjecture
Let denote the positive integers. For each , let and be the finite multiple harmonic sum quantities defined in the source, and let be the finite multiple zeta value algebra introduced above. The -Bernoulli numbers are the elements . MTWZ's conjecture. For any , both and are elements of the sub-algebra of generated by the -Bernoulli numbers. This conjecture predicts that these finite sums can always be expressed algebraically in terms of finite analogues of Bernoulli numbers; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
