Zhao's Fibonacci basis conjecture for finite Euler sums

About 2 years old · traced to

Let FESw\mathsf{FES}_w be the Q\mathbb{Q}-vector space generated by finite Euler sums of weight ww, and let F0=F1=1F_0=F_1=1 and Fk=Fk−1+Fk−2F_k=F_{k-1}+F_{k-2} for k≥2k\geq2. Zhao's finite Euler sum basis conjecture. For every positive integer ww, the following set is a basis of FESw\mathsf{FES}_w:

{ζA(1ˉ,b2,…,bd):d≥0, bj∈{1,2}, 1+b2+⋯+bd=w}.\left\{\zeta_{\mathcal A}(\bar1,b_2,\dots,b_d):d\geq0,\ b_j\in\{1,2\},\ 1+b_2+\cdots+b_d=w\right\}.

Consequently, dim⁡QFESw=Fw−1\dim_{\mathbb Q}\mathsf{FES}_w=F_{w-1} for all w≥1w\geq1. The conjecture is supported by computations through weight six, while the general statement remains open.
