Arithmetic inclusion for normalized linear forms in odd zeta values

From papers

Let qq and rr be the parameters above, let F(h)F(\boldsymbol h) be the normalized quantity defined by

F(h)=1(r1)!t=0R(r1)(t),F(\boldsymbol h)=\frac1{(r-1)!}\sum_{t=0}^\infty R^{(r-1)}(t),

and let m1,m2,,mqr1m_1,m_2,\dots,m_{q-r-1} be the successive maxima of the set of parameters e={e0k=hk1:1kq; ejk=h0hjhk:1j<kq}\boldsymbol e=\{e_{0k}=h_k-1:1\le k\le q;\ e_{jk}=h_0-h_j-h_k:1\le j<k\le q\}. Here DmD_m denotes the corresponding arithmetic normalization factor.

Arithmetic inclusion conjecture. There holds the inclusion

Dm1rDm2Dmqr1F(h)Zζ(q2)+Zζ(q4)++Zζ(r+2)+Z.D_{m_1}^rD_{m_2}\dotsb D_{m_{q-r-1}}\cdot F(\boldsymbol h)\in\mathbb Z\zeta(q-2)+\mathbb Z\zeta(q-4)+\dots+\mathbb Z\zeta(r+2)+\mathbb Z.

This conjecture proposes that omitting the final normalization factor from the established inclusion preserves the integral span of the relevant odd zeta values and 11. It is motivated by Ball's example, direct computations for small parameter values, and Rivoal's conjecture; the supplied source does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
