Rational-span conjecture for zeta values and symmetrized Mordell–Tornheim values

Let ζ(n)\zeta(n) denote the Riemann zeta value at the integer nn, and let ζm\overline{\zeta}_m denote the symmetrized Mordell–Tornheim zeta value of order mm. Rational-span conjecture. Every zeta value ζ(n)\zeta(n) for n2n\geq 2 can be written as a Q\mathbb{Q}-linear combination of ζm\overline{\zeta}_{m} values with m2m\geq 2. The displayed identities verify this relationship in the first several weights, while the asserted generalization to arbitrary nn remains open.
