Ohno's relation is a well-known relation on the field of the multiple zeta values and has an interpolation to complex function. In this paper, we call its complex function Ohno function and study it. We consider the region of absolute convergence, give some new expressions, and show new relations of the function. We also give a direct proof of the interpolation of Ohno's relation.
We define and apply a method to study the non-vanishing of [Formula: see text]-adic cyclotomic multiple zeta values. We prove the non-vanishing of certain cyclotomic multiple harmonic sums, and, via a formula proved in another paper, which expresses certain cyclotomic multiple harmonic sums as infinite sums of products of [Formula: see text]-adic cyclotomic multiple zeta values, this implies the non-vanishing of certain [Formula: see text]-adic cyclotomic multiple zeta values.
This paper aims to study the zero distribution of [Formula: see text]-adic multiple zeta values over function fields. We show that the interpolated [Formula: see text]-adic MZVs at negative integers only vanish at what we call the “trivial zeros”, for degree one finite place over rational function fields. And we conjecture that this result can be generalized to all finite places.
The worldline formalism provides an alternative to Feynman diagrams in the construction of amplitudes and effective actions that shares some of the superior properties of the organization of amplitudes in string theory. In particular, it allows one to write down integral representations combining the contributions of large classes of Feynman diagrams of different topologies. However, calculating these integrals analytically without splitting them into sectors corresponding to individual diagrams poses a formidable mathematical challenge. We summarize the history and state of the art of this problem, including some natural connections to the theory of Bernoulli numbers and polynomials and multiple zeta values.
