Hoffman's conjecture for symmetric triple series
Let and let be an integer. Define
For a polynomial in any of the four families specified in Theorem
\sum_{k_1\geq k_2\geq k_3\geq 1}\frac{P(K_1,K_2,K_3)}{(k_1+2n+2){n+1}^{A}(k_2+n+1){n+1}^{A}(k_3)_{n+1}^{A}}.
holds: it is a rational linear combination of multiple zeta values of depth at most , with neither nor appearing; and, if the additional condition holds, it is a rational linear combination of the explicitly listed values , , , , , , , , , , , , and . The source says this was checked computationally for and leaves the general case open; in particular, the open problem is to prove that does not appear.
