Evaluations of k-fold Euler/Zagier sums: a compendium of results for arbitrary k
نویسندگان
چکیده
Euler sums (also called Zagier sums) occur within the context of knot theory and quantum field theory. There are various conjectures related to these sums whose incompletion is a sign that both the mathematics and physics communities do not yet completely understand the field. Here, we assemble results for Euler/Zagier sums (also known as multidimensional zeta/harmonic sums) of arbitrary depth, including sign alternations. Many of our results were obtained empirically and are apparently new. By carefully compiling and examining a huge data base of high precision numerical evaluations, we can claim with some confidence that certain classes of results are exhaustive. While many proofs are lacking, we have sketched derivations of all results that have so far been proved. the electronic journal of combinatorics 4 (no.2) (1997), #R5 2

Resolution of Some Open Problems Concerning Multiple Zeta Evaluations of Arbitrary Depth
We prove some new evaluations for multiple polylogarithms of arbitrary depth. The simplest of our results is a multiple zeta evaluation one order of complexity beyond the well-known Broadhurst-Zagier formula. Other results we provide settle three of the remaining outstanding conjectures of Borwein, Bradley, and Broadhurst [4]. A complete treatment of a certain arbitrary depth class of periodic ...
متن کاملA Quantum Field Theoretical Representation of Euler-Zagier Sums
We establish a novel representation of arbitrary Euler-Zagier sums in terms of weighted vacuum graphs. This representation uses a toy quantum field theory with infinitely many propagators and interaction vertices. The propagators involve Bernoulli polynomials and Clausen functions to arbitrary orders. The Feynman integrals of this model can be decomposed in terms of a vertex algebra whose struc...

Historically the polylogarithm has attracted specialists and non specialists alike with its lovely evaluations Much the same can be said for Euler sums or multiple harmonic sums which within the past decade have arisen in combinatorics knot theory and high energy physics More recently we have been forced to consider multidimensional extensions encompassing the classical polylogarithm Euler sums...
