The weighted sum vanishing conjecture for odd repeated-terminal indices

About 8 years old · traced to

Let Wk(n1,…,nd)W_{k}(n_{1},\dots,n_{d}) and Wk⋆(n1,…,nd)W_{k}^{\star}(n_{1},\dots,n_{d}) denote the weighted sums of finite multiple zeta values and finite star multiple zeta values, respectively, defined by

Wk(n1,…,nd)=∑k1,…,kd≥1k1+⋯+kd=kn1k1⋯ndkdζA(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}).

For k∈Z≥1k\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq1} and a positive odd integer rr, the index sequence is (1,1,2,3,…,r−2,r−1,r,r)(1,1,2,3,\dots,r-2,r-1,r,r). The weighted sum vanishing conjecture.

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

This is one of the paper's conjectural weighted sum formulas for finite multiple zeta values, and no resolution is supplied in the given text.
