The class-number-one zetalike multizeta-value conjecture

About 6 years old · traced to

Let AA be a class-number-one coefficient ring with constant field Fq\mathbb{F}_q. For positive integers nn and kk, let ζ(s1,…,sr)\zeta(s_1,\ldots,s_r) denote the multizeta value associated with positive integer arguments, and call it zetalike when

ζ(s1,…,sr)ζ(s1+⋯+sr)∈K.\frac{\zeta(s_1,\ldots,s_r)}{\zeta(s_1+\cdots+s_r)}\in K.

The class-number-one zetalike conjecture. The multizeta values

ζ(qn−1,(q−1)qn,…,(q−1)qn+k)\zeta\bigl(q^n-1,(q-1)q^n,\ldots,(q-1)q^{n+k}\bigr)

are zetalike.

In the genus-zero case A=Fq[t]A=\mathbb{F}_q[t], the corresponding explicit identity was conjectured and is now proved in all depths; in higher genus, this family is the one identified by the authors' exploration, with the conjecture remaining open in the stated generality.
