Abstract: We introduce the multivariable connected sum which is a generalization of Seki-Yamamoto's connected sum and prove the fundamental identity for these sums by series manipulation. This identity yields explicit procedures for evaluating multivariable connected sums and for giving relations among special values of multiple polylogarithms. In particular, our class of relations contains Ohno's relations for multiple polylogarithms.

Review text

Motivated by some remarkable series representation formulas for the first several Riemann zeta values, the authors define the so-called multiple connected sum (MCS). This is a generalization of the Seki-Yamamoto connected sum, and thus of the multiple zeta values (MZVs). A number of identities are proved for these sums. In particular, it is proven that the MCSs are, under some conditions, expressible in terms of the multiple polylogarithms. In turn, multivariable connected sums give a family of functional relations among multiple polylogarithms. Some results for MCSs are strengthened or generalized versions of known ones regarding polylogarithms and MZVs.
