Multiple Stieltjes constants and Laurent type expansion of the multiple zeta functions at integer points (Q2056171)

In this paper, the author studies the local behaviour of the multiple zeta functions at integer points. As in the study of the Riemann zeta function and the classical Stieltjes constants, the author first introduces multiple Stieltjes constants \(\gamma_{k_1,\ldots,k_r}^{(a_1,\ldots,a_r)}\) defined as the regularized value for the series \[ \sum_{n_1>\cdots>n_r>0}\prod_{i=1}^r\frac{(\log n_i)^{k_i}}{n_i^{a_i}} \] for each \(r\)-tuple of integers \((a_1,\ldots,a_r)\) and \(r\)-tuple of non-negative integers \((k_1,\ldots,k_r)\). In [Math. Z. 295, no. 1-2, 623--642 (2020; Zbl 1445.11089)], \textit{K. Matsumoto} et al. also considered a multiple analogue of the classical Stieltjes constants and raised the question about `the most suitable definition of multiple Stieltjes constants'. This paper provides an answer to the question by defining the multiple Stieltjes constants as regularized values of the above infinite series. In Theorem 8, it is shown that the power series \[ \sum_{k_1,\ldots,k_r\ge0}\gamma_{k_1,\ldots,k_r}^{(a_1,\ldots,a_r)}\prod_{i=1}^r\frac{(-1)^{k_i}}{k_i!}(s_i-a_i)^{k_i} \] converges in a neighbourhood of \((a_1,\ldots,a_r)\in \mathbb Z^r\) and extends to a meromorphic function on \(\mathbb C^r\), the regularized multiple zeta function \(\zeta^{\mathrm{Reg}}_{(a_1,\ldots,a_r)}(s_1,\ldots,s_r)\) about the point \((a_1,\ldots,a_r)\). This result leads to a Laurent type expansion of the multiple zeta functions around integer points.
