SYMMETRY PHENOMENOMS IN LINEAR FORMS IN MULTIPLE ZETA VALUES
T. RIVOAL
The following text, based on joint work with J. Cresson and S. Fischler[6, 7], corresponds to the talk I gave at Turun Yliopisto in may 2007 during the ANT conference. I warmly thank the organisers of this conference for the invitation, especially Tapani Matala-Aho.
A generalisation of the Riemann zeta functionζ(s) is given by the multiple zeta value (abreviated as MZV ; note that in french, the wordlopˆeyzstais now often used for these series) defined for all integersp1 and allp-tupless= (s1, s2, . . . , sp) of integers1, withs12, by X 1 ζ(s , s , . . . , s) =. 1 2p sp s1s2 k k . . . kp 1 2 k1>k2>...>kp1 The integerspands1+s2+. . .+spare respectively the depth and the weight ofζ(s1, s2, . . . , sp). MZVs naturally appear when, for example, one considers products of values of the zeta function, e.gζ(n)ζ(m) =ζ(n+m) +ζ(n, m) +ζ(m, n). In a certain sense, this enables us to “linearise” these products. Except a few identities such asζ(2,1) =ζ(3) (due to Euler), the arithmetical nature of MZVs is no better understood than that ofζ(s). However, the set of MZVs has a very rich structure which is well understood, at least conjecturally. (See [16]). For example, let us consider theQ-vector spacesZpofRwhich p2 are spanned by the 2 MZVs of weightp2:Z2=Qζ(2),Z3=Qζ(3) +Qζ(2,1), Z4=Qζ(4) +Qζ(3,1) +Qζ(2,2) +Qζ(2,1,1), etc. Setvp= dimQ(Zphave the). We following conjecture, whose (i) is due to Zagier and (ii) to Goncharov.
Conjecture 1.(i)For any integerp2, we havevp=cp, wherecpis defined by the linear recursioncp+3=cp+1+cp, wherec0= 1,c1= 0andc2= 1. (ii)TheQ-vector spacesQandZp(p2)are in direct sum.
p Hence, the sequence (vp)p2should grow likeα(whereα1,3247 is a root of the 3p2 polynomialXX. Thus, conjecturally, there exist1), which is much less than 2 many linear relations between MZVs of the same weight and none between those of different
