On three general forms of multiple zeta(-star) values (Q6173824)

Let \(\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots, \alpha_r)\) be an \(r\)-tuple of positive integers with \(\alpha_r \geq 2\). The multiple zeta value \(\zeta(\alpha)\) and the multiple zeta-star value \(\zeta^\star(\alpha)\) are defined to be \[ \zeta(\mathbf{\alpha})=\sum_{n_1>\cdots>n_k>0}\frac{1}{n_1^{\alpha_1}\cdots n_k^{\alpha_k}},\] \[ \zeta^\star(\mathbf{\alpha})=\sum_{n_1\geq\cdots\geq n_k>0}\frac{1}{n_1^{\alpha_1}\cdots n_k^{\alpha_k}}.\] In this paper under review, the authors investigate the general forms of multiple zeta(-star) values \(Z_B\), \(Z_L\) \(Z_U\) studied in [\textit{M. Kaneko} and \textit{S. Yamamoto}, Sel. Math., New Ser. 24, No. 3, 2499--2521 (2018; Zbl 1435.11114)] and which can be expressed in terms of Schur multiple zeta functions of Young Tableaux [\textit{H. Bachmann} and \textit{S. Charlton}, Eur. J. Comb. 87, Article ID 103133, 14 p. (2020; Zbl 1459.11170)]. As consequence, they use \(Z_B\), \(Z_L\) and \(Z_U\) to give three new sum formulas for multiple zeta(-star) values with height \(\leq 2\). Actually, it is shown the following for positive integers \(m\), \(n\), \(p\) \[ \sum_{\alpha_1+\alpha_2=n}\zeta^\star (\alpha_1,\lbrace 1 \rbrace^m,\alpha_2+1 )=(m+n)\zeta(m+n+1),\] \[\sum_{a+b+m=p} (-1)^m \zeta(a+2,\lbrace 1 \rbrace^m,b+2)=2\left \lbrack(-1)^p-1\right \rbrack \zeta(p+2, \bar{2})+\left(1-\frac{1}{2^{p+2}}\right)\zeta(p+4)\] and \[\zeta^\star (\lbrace 1 \rbrace^m, \lbrace 2 \rbrace^{n+1})=\sum_{p+r=n} (-1)^r \zeta^\star(\lbrace 2 \rbrace^{p})\times \sum_{|d|=m} \zeta(d_1+2,\ldots, d_{r+1}+2)\prod_{j=1}^{r+1}(d_j+1).\]
