Interpolant of truncated multiple zeta functions

From MaRDI portal





For a tuple of complex variables \(\mathbf{s}=(s_1,\cdots,s_d)\), let \(\zeta_N(\mathbf{s})\) denote the truncated multiple zeta function defined by \N\[\N\zeta_N(\mathbf{s})=\sum_{N\geq j_1>\cdots >j_d}\frac{1}{j_1^{s_1}\cdots j_d^{s_d}}.\N\]\NThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the analytic function \(\Psi(\mathbf{s}; w)\) which interpolates these truncated sums, i.e., satisfies \(\Psi(s; N) = \zeta_N (\mathbf{s})\) for all \(N\in \mathbb{N}\). Actually, the function \(\Psi(\mathbf{s}; w)\) is first introduced and an expression in terms of the multiple zeta(-star) function is given. Then, the authors derive the following integral representation of \N\[\N\Psi(\mathbf{s}; w)=\frac{1}{\prod_{m=1}^d \Gamma(s_m)}\int_0^1\cdots \int_0^1 G(\mathbf{q}; w)\prod_{m=1}^d (-\log q_m)^{s_m-1} dq_1\cdots dq_d,\N\]\Nwhere \(G(\mathbf{q};w)\) is shown to be holomorphic on a certain region \(U_d \times \mathbb{C}\). As a corollary, the analytic continuation of \(\Psi(\mathbf{s}; w)\) is obtained.
