The formal extended double shuffle conjecture for multiple zeta values

About 1 year old · traced to

Let Zf\mathcal{Z}^f be the quotient of the shuffle algebra by the two-sided ideal generated by the formal extended double shuffle relations, and write ζf(k1,…,kr)\zeta^f(k_1,\ldots,k_r) for the class of the corresponding word. Let Z\mathcal{Z} be the algebra of multiple zeta values, with generators denoted ζ(k1,…,kr)\zeta(k_1,\ldots,k_r). The formal extended double shuffle conjecture. The Q\mathbb{Q}-algebra homomorphism

Zf⟶Z,ζf(k1,…,kr)⟼ζ(k1,…,kr)\mathcal{Z}^f \longrightarrow \mathcal{Z},\qquad \zeta^f(k_1,\ldots,k_r)\longmapsto \zeta(k_1,\ldots,k_r)

is a Q\mathbb{Q}-algebra isomorphism. Equivalently, all Q\mathbb{Q}-linear relations among multiple zeta values are obtained from the extended double shuffle relations. This is the algebraic formulation of the extended double shuffle conjecture; the source gives no resolution.
