The weighted sum vanishing conjecture for the index sequence (1,1,2,3,,r)(1,1,2,3,\dots,r)

Define the weighted sums of finite multiple zeta values by

Wk(n1,,nd)=k1,,kd1k1++kd=kn1k1ndkdζA(k1,,kd),W_{k}(n_{1},\dots,n_{d})=\sum_{\substack{k_{1},\dots,k_{d}\geq1\\ k_{1}+\cdots+k_{d}=k}}n_{1}^{k_{1}}\cdots n_{d}^{k_{d}}\zeta_{\mathcal{A}}(k_{1},\dots,k_{d}),

and define Wk(n1,,nd)W_{k}^{\star}(n_{1},\dots,n_{d}) similarly with ζA\zeta_{\mathcal{A}}^{\star} in place of ζA\zeta_{\mathcal{A}}. For k,rZ1k,r\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq1}, the index sequence is (1,1,2,3,,r1,r)(1,1,2,3,\dots,r-1,r). The weighted sum vanishing conjecture.

Wk(1,1,2,3,,r1,r)=0,W_{k}(1,1,2,3,\dots,r-1,r)=0, Wk(1,1,2,3,,r1,r)=0.W_{k}^{\star}(1,1,2,3,\dots,r-1,r)=0.

These are conjectural weighted sum formulas for finite multiple zeta values, distinct from the theorem proved earlier in the paper; their status is not resolved in the supplied text.
