Cyclic-sum conjecture for finite multiple harmonic q-series
Cyclic-sum conjecture for finite multiple harmonic q-series
Let be a non-negative integer, let be non-negative integers, and let denote the finite multiple harmonic -series associated with an index and a primitive -th root of unity . In both cyclic sums, interpret whenever modulo .
Cyclic-sum conjecture. For every integer and every primitive root of unity , the following hold. With ,
With ,
These conjectures generalize the preceding cyclic identities for indices containing alternating blocks of 's and 's, or 's and 's. The first part predicts an exact evaluation, while the second asserts rational divisibility by ; no resolution is supplied in the source context.
