Abstract: For positive integers i1,...,ik with i1>1, we define the multiple t-value t(i1,...,ik) as the sum of those terms in the usual infinite series for the multiple zeta value zeta(i1,...,ik) with odd denominators. Like the multiple zeta values, the multiple t-values can be multiplied according to the rules of the harmonic algebra. Using this fact, we obtain explicit formulas for multiple t-values of repeated arguments analogous to those known for multiple zeta values. Multiple t-values can be written as rational linear combinations of the alternating or "colored" multiple zeta values. Using known results for colored multiple zeta values, we obtain tables of multiple t-values through weight 7, suggesting some interesting conjectures, including one that the dimension of the rational vector space generated by weight-n multiple t-values has dimension equal to the nth Fibonacci number. We express the generating function of the height one multiple t-values t(n,1,...,1) in terms of a generalized hypergeometric function. We also define alternating multiple t-values and prove some results about them.
