Dimension conjecture for alternating Mordell--Tornheim zeta values

About 2 years old · traced to

For each weight w≥3w\geq 3, let \AMTw\AMT_w be the relevant \Q\Q-vector space of alternating Mordell--Tornheim zeta values. For every Lyndon word \bfk≠(1)\bfk\ne(1) on the odd numbers, ordered by 1<3<5<⋯1<3<5<\cdots, let ζ(\bfk;1,…,1,−1)\zeta(\bfk;1,\dots,1,-1) denote the corresponding alternating multiple zeta value, let λ(\bfk)\lambda(\bfk) be its multiplicity, and let ∣\bfk∣|\bfk| be its weight. Define

Cw:={∏ζ(\bfk;1,…,1,−1)(2πi)2n:2n+∑\bfkλ(\bfk)∣\bfk∣=w, n≥0}.C_w:=\left\{\prod \zeta(\bfk;1,\dots,1,-1)(2\pi i)^{2n}:2n+\sum_{\bfk}\lambda(\bfk)|\bfk|=w,\ n\geq0\right\}.

The alternating Mordell--Tornheim dimension conjecture. For every w≥3w\geq3, the space \AMTw\AMT_w can be generated by CwC_w. The conjecture proposes an explicit family of alternating multiple-zeta-value products generating every alternating Mordell--Tornheim space; the paper reports the claim in the context of known low-weight computations and dimension bounds, but no general proof is given.
