Three-dimensional independence conjecture for selected multiple zeta values

Define the multiple zeta values by

ζ(s1,,sp)=k1>>kp11k1s1kpsp,\zeta(s_1,\ldots,s_p)=\sum_{k_1>\cdots>k_p\geq 1}\frac{1}{k_1^{s_1}\cdots k_p^{s_p}},

for s12s_1\geq 2 and s2,,sp1s_2,\ldots,s_p\geq 1. Selected-value independence conjecture. Among the numbers 11, ζ(2)\zeta(2), ζ(3)\zeta(3), ζ(2,3)\zeta(2,3), ζ(3,2)\zeta(3,2), ζ(3,3)\zeta(3,3), and ζ(3,2,3)\zeta(3,2,3), at least three are linearly independent over Q\mathbb{Q}. The source presents this as a further very difficult conjecture concerning lower bounds for dimensions of spaces generated by selected multiple zeta values; it gives no resolution.
