Some identities for multiple alternating zeta values (Q2043468)

The sum of all the multiple zeta values (MZVs) of weight \(mn\) and depth \(k\) with the MZV arguments being multiples of a fixed integer \(m\ge2\) are denoted in the present paper by \(A(m,n,k)\). In formula, \[ A(m, n, k)=\sum_{\substack{s_{1}+s_{2}+\cdots+s_{k}=n \\ s_{j} \in \mathbb{N}}} \zeta\left(m \overline{s_{1}}, m \overline{s_{2}}, \cdots, m \overline{s_{k}}\right). \] One main result of the paper is an explicit expression for \(A(m, n, k)\) in terms of alternating zeta and zeta star values (MZSVs): \[ A(m, n, k)=\sum_{\substack{a+b=n \\ a, b \in \mathbb{N}_{0}}}(-1)^{a-k}\left(\begin{array}{l}a\\ k\end{array}\right) \cdot \zeta\left(\{\bar{m}\}^{a}\right) \cdot \zeta^{\star}\left(\{\bar{m}\}^{b}\right). \] (Here the standard notations of MZV theory apply.) Another result is a finite expression for alternating MZVs and MZSVs with repeated argument. The simpler of these reads as \[ \zeta^*\left(\{\overline{2 m}\}^{n}\right)= \] \[ \frac{\pi^{2 m n}}{2^{2 m n}} \sum_{\sum_{j=1}^{m} n_{j}=m n} \prod_{j=1}^m \prod_{k_{j}+l_{j}=n_{j}} \frac{(-1)^{n_{j}-1}\left(2^{2 k_{j}}-2\right) B_{2 k_{j}} E_{2 l_{j}} \mathrm{e}^{\frac{\pi i}{m}\left(2 j n_{j}-l_{j}\right)}}{\left(2 k_{j}\right) !\left(2 l_{j}\right) !}. \] This result leads to a simple evaluation for \(A(2,n,k)\) (see Corollary 1 in the paper).
