On the evaluations of multiple \(S\)- and \(T\)-values of the form \(S ( \overset{{}_{( - )}}{2} , 1 , \ldots , 1 , \overset{{}_{( - )}}{1} )\) and \(T ( \overset{{}_{( - )}}{2} , 1 , \ldots , 1 , \overset{{}_{( - )}}{1} )\) (Q6965651)

In 2024, \textit{C. Xu} et al. [Indag. Math., New Ser. 35, No. 6, 1212--1248 (2024; Zbl 07940211)] investigated algebraic and structural properties of a variant of multiple zeta values (MZVs) of level four called alternating multiple mixed values (AMMVs). In particular, they claimed the following conjectures regarding the multiple \(T\)-values and multiple \(S\)-values:\N\begin{itemize}\N\item[(1)] \(T (2,\{1\}_{2m-1}, \bar{1})\in \mathbb{Q}[\pi, \zeta(2), \beta(2), \zeta(3), \beta(3),\ldots]\).\N\item [(2)] \(T (\bar{2},\{1\}_{2m-1}, \bar{1})\in \mathbb{Q}[\pi, \zeta(2), \beta(2), \zeta(3), \beta(3),\ldots]\).\N\item[(3)] \(S(\bar{2},\{1\}_{2m})\) can be expressed as a polynomial in \(\log(2)\), \(\pi\), \(\zeta(2k + 1)\), \(\beta(2p)\) and double zetas of the form \(\zeta (2\ell + 1, 1)\), \(\ell\), \(p\), \(k \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}\).\N\end{itemize}\NIn this paper under review, the authors show an affirmative answer to conjecture \((1)\), by giving an explicit generating series identity for both the multiple \(T\)-value evaluation, and the multiple \(S\)-value evaluation. Furthermore, the answer is again affirmative for conjectures \((2)\) and \((3)\). However, the evaluation for \(S(\bar{2},\{1\}_{2m-1}, \bar{1})\) begins to invoke more complicated alternating double zetas values from weight \(8\) onward, and so \(S(\bar{2},\{1\}_{2m-1}, \bar{1})\) cannot be expressed as a polynomial in \(\log(2)\), \(\pi\), \(\zeta(2k + 1)\), \(\beta(2p)\) and double zetas of the form \(\zeta (2\ell + 1, 1)\), \(\ell\), \(p\), \(k \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}\).
