Rational multiples of powers of pi among symmetrized Mordell–Tornheim zeta values

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let ζ‾n\overline{\zeta}_n denote the symmetrized Mordell–Tornheim zeta value of order nn, and let n≥1n\geq 1. A value is a rational multiplicity of πn\pi^n if it has the form rπnr\pi^n for some r∈Qr\in\mathbb{Q}. Rational-multiplicity conjecture. The only three cases for which ζ‾n≥1\overline{\zeta}_{n\geq 1} is a rational multiplicity of πn\pi^n are n=1n=1, n=2n=2 and n=4n=4, with coefficients 00, 13\frac{1}{3} and 1915\frac{19}{15}, respectively. The claim concerns the exceptional exact evaluations among these symmetrized sums; whether any further rational multiples occur remains open.
