Borwein–Girgensohn parity conjecture for multiple zeta values

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let r\textgreater1r\textgreater 1 and let \slk=(k1,…,kr)∈(Z>0)r{\boldsymbol{\sl{k}}}=(k_1,\ldots,k_r)\in(\mathbb{Z}_{>0})^r with kr>1k_r>1. The Borwein–Girgensohn parity conjecture. The multiple zeta value ζ(k1,…,kr)\zeta(k_1,\ldots,k_r) can be expressed in terms of multiple zeta values of lower depth when its depth rr and weight k1+⋯+krk_1+\cdots+k_r have different parity. This is a parity result for classical multiple zeta values; the conjecture concerns reducing values of mismatched weight and depth parity to lower-depth values.
