Pilehrood–Pilehrood–Tauraso conjecture for cyclic sums on 1–2 indices

For rNr\in\mathbb{N} and s,d0,d1,,dsZ0s,d_0,d_1,\ldots,d_s\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}, define

Cnr(d0,d1,,ds)=j=0szn({r}dj,r+1,{r}dj+1,r+1,,r+1,{r}dj+s;ζn),C_n^r(d_0,d_1,\ldots,d_s)=\sum_{j=0}^{s}z_n\left(\{r\}^{d_j},r+1,\{r\}^{d_{j+1}},r+1,\ldots,r+1,\{r\}^{d_{j+s}};\zeta_n\right),

where dj=did_j=d_i if jij\equiv i modulo s+1s+1. For s,d0,d1,,dsZ0s,d_0,d_1,\ldots,d_s\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}, set

k=2j=0sdj+3s.k=2\sum_{j=0}^{s}d_j+3s.

Pilehrood–Pilehrood–Tauraso's conjecture. For any positive integer nn with n>kn>k, one has

Cn2(d0,d1,,ds)(1ζn)kQ.C_n^2(d_0,d_1,\ldots,d_s)\in (1-\zeta_n)^k\mathbb{Q}.

This is one of two conjectures proposed for cyclic sums of finite multiple harmonic qq-series at roots of unity. The paper studies related finite multiple harmonic qq-series and proves explicit formulas for several families, while this asserted divisibility statement is presented as a conjecture here.
