Zagier–Hoffman–Saha dimension and basis conjectures for multiple zeta values and multiple t-values

At least 4 years old · documented by

Let (dn)n⩾1(d_n)_{n\geqslant1} be the Padovan sequence defined by d1=0d_1=0, d2=1d_2=1, d3=1d_3=1 and dn=dn−2+dn−3d_n=d_{n-2}+d_{n-3} for n⩾4n\geqslant4, and let (fn)n⩾1(f_n)_{n\geqslant1} be the Fibonacci sequence with f1=f2=1f_1=f_2=1 and fn=fn−1+fn−2f_n=f_{n-1}+f_{n-2} for n⩾3n\geqslant3. Let Zn\mathcal{Z}_n and Tn\mathcal{T}_n denote the Q\mathbf{Q}-spans of all multiple zeta values and multiple tt-values of weight nn, respectively. A multiple zeta value of index (i1,…,ik)(i_1,\ldots,i_k) has weight i1+⋯+iki_1+\cdots+i_k, and a multiple tt-value is denoted by t(i1,…,ik)t(i_1,\ldots,i_k). Zagier–Hoffman–Saha conjectures. The following statements hold: dim⁡Zn=dn\dim \mathcal{Z}_n=d_n; dim⁡Tn=fn\dim \mathcal{T}_n=f_n; the set

{ζ(i1,i2,…,ik)∣i1+i2+⋯+ik=n, ij∈{2,3}}\{\zeta(i_1, i_2, \ldots, i_k)\mid i_1+i_2+\cdots+i_k=n,\ i_j\in\{2,3\}\}

is a Q\mathbf{Q}-basis of Zn\mathcal{Z}_n; and, for n⩾2n\geqslant2, the set

{t(a1+1,a2,…,ar)∣a1+a2+⋯+ar=n−1, ai∈{1,2}, 1⩽r⩽n−1}\{t(a_1+1,a_2,\ldots,a_r)\mid a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_r=n-1,\ a_i\in\{1,2\},\ 1\leqslant r\leqslant n-1\}

is a Q\mathbf{Q}-basis of Tn\mathcal{T}_n. These conjectures concern the expected dimensions and explicit bases of the spaces of multiple zeta values and multiple tt-values; the source presents them as conjectures attributed to Zagier, Hoffman, and Saha, with no resolution supplied.
