Zero distribution conjecture for vv-adic multiple zeta values over Fq(t)\mathbb{F}_q(t)

Let K=Fq(t)K=\mathbb{F}_q(t), let vv be any monic prime, and let s=(s1,,sr)Svr\mathbf{s}=(s_1,\ldots,s_r)\in S_v^r, where SvS_v is the space of vv-adic weights defined by

Sv:=limnZ/(qd1)pnZS_v:=\lim\limits_{\substack{\longleftarrow\\ n}}\mathbb{Z}/(q^d-1)p^n\mathbb{Z}

for d=degvd=\deg v. An element s=c1+i=0ci(qd1)piSvs=c_{-1}+\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}c_i(q^d-1)p^i\in S_v is qq-even when q1c1q-1\mid c_{-1}. A multiple zeta value is called a trivial zero when it vanishes for the trivial-zero condition established for depth greater than one.

Zero distribution conjecture. The vv-adic multiple zeta value satisfies

ζv(s)=0\zeta_v(\mathbf{s})=0

if and only if one of the following conditions holds:

  1. r>1r>1 and s\mathbf{s} is a trivial zero;
  2. r=1r=1 and ss is qq-even.

For degree-one primes this is proved in the preceding theorem; the conjecture extends the same characterization to arbitrary monic primes vv.
