Multiple \(q\)-zeta brackets (Q2339590)

Summary: The multiple zeta values (MZVs) possess a rich algebraic structure of algebraic relations, which is conjecturally determined by two different (shuffle and stuffle) products of a certain algebra of noncommutative words. In a recent work, \textit{H. Bachmann} constructed a \(q\)-analogue of the MZVs -- the so-called bi-brackets -- for which the two products are dual to each other, in a very natural way [``Generating series of multiple divisor sums and other interesting \(q\)-series''. Talk slides. University of Bristol (2014)]. We overview Bachmann's construction and discuss the radial asymptotics of the bi-brackets, its links to the MZVs, and related linear (in)dependence questions of the \(q\)-analogue.
