Two formulas for certain double and multiple polylogarithms in two variables

We give a weighted sum formula for the double polylogarithm in two variables, from which we can recover the classical weighted sum formulas for double zeta values, double $T$-values, and some double $L$-values. Also presented is a connection-type formula for a two-variable multiple polylogarithm, which specializes to previously known single-variable formulas. This identity can also be regarded as a generalization of the renowned five-term relation for the dilogarithm.

Double Dirichlet series associated with arithmetic functions II

This paper is a continuation of our previous work on double Dirichlet series associated with arithmetic functions such as the von Mangoldt function, the Möbius function, and so on. We consider the analytic behaviour around the non-positive integer points on singularity sets which are points of indeterminacy. In particular, we show a certain reciprocity law of their residues. Also on this occasion we correct some inaccuracies in our previous paper.

On poly-cosecant numbers

We introduce and study a `level two' generalization of the poly-Bernoulli numbers, which may also be regarded as a generalization of the cosecant numbers. We prove a recurrence relation, two exact formulas, and a duality relation for negative upper-index numbers.

On a variant of multiple zeta values of level two

We study a variant of multiple zeta values of level 2, which forms a subspace of the space of alternating multiple zeta values. This variant, which is regarded as the `shuffle counterpart' of Hoffman's `odd variant', exhibits nice properties such as duality, shuffle product, parity results, etc., like ordinary multiple zeta values. We also give some conjectures on relations between our values, Hoffman's values, and multiple zeta values.

Zeta functions connecting multiple zeta values and poly-Bernoulli numbers

We first review our previous works of Arakawa and the authors on two, closely related single-variable zeta functions. Their special values at positive and negative integer arguments are respectively multiple zeta values and poly-Bernoulli numbers. We then introduce, as a generalization of Sasaki's work, level 2 analogue of one of the two zeta functions and prove results analogous to those by Arakawa and the first named author.

An overview and supplements to the theory of functional relations for zeta-functions of root systems

We give an overview of the theory of functional relations for zeta-functions of root systems, and show some new results on functional relations involving zeta-functions of root systems of types $B_r$, $D_r$, $A_3$ and $C_2$. To show those new results, we use two different methods. The first method, for $B_r$, $D_r$, $A_3$, is via generating functions, which is based on the symmetry with respect to Weyl groups, or more generally, on our theory of lattice sums of certain hyperplane arrangements. The second method for $C_2$ is more elementary, using partial fraction decompositions.

Double Dirichlet series associated with arithmetic functions

We consider double Dirichlet series associated with arithmetic functions such as the von Mangoldt function, the Möbius function, and so on. We show analytic continuations of them by use of the Mellin-Barnes integral. Furthermore we observe their reverse values at non-positive integer points.

Zeta-functions of root systems and Poincaré polynomials of Weyl groups

We consider a certain linear combination $S(\mathbf{s},\mathbf{y};I;Δ)$ of zeta-functions of root systems, where $Δ$ is a root system of rank $r$ and $I\subset\{1,2,\ldots,r\}$. Showing two different expressions of $S(\mathbf{s},\mathbf{y};I;Δ)$, we find that a certain signed sum of zeta-functions of root systems is equal to a sum involving Bernoulli functions of root systems. This identity gives a non-trivial functional relation among zeta-functions of root systems, if the signed sum does not identically vanish. This is a genralization of the authors' previous result proved in \cite{KMTLondon}, in the case when $I=\emptyset$. We present several explicit examples of such functional relations. A criterion of the non-vanishing of the signed sum, in terms of Poincar{é} polynomials of associated Weyl groups, is given. Moreover we prove a certain converse theorem, which implies that the generating function for the case $I=\emptyset$ essentially knows all information on generating functions for general $I$.

Multi-poly-Bernoulli numbers and related zeta functions

We construct and study a certain zeta function which interpolates multi-poly-Bernoulli numbers at non-positive integers and whose values at positive integers are linear combinations of multiple zeta values. This function can be regarded as the one to be paired up with the $ξ$-function defined by Arakawa and the first-named author. We show that both are closely related to the multiple zeta functions. Further we define multi-indexed poly-Bernoulli numbers, and generalize the duality formulas for poly-Bernoulli numbers by introducing more general zeta functions.

On Arakawa-Kaneko zeta-functions associated with $GL_2(\mathbb{C})$ and their functional relations

We construct a certain class of Arakawa--Kaneko zeta-functions associated with $GL_2(\mathbb{C})$, which includes the ordinary Arakawa--Kaneko zeta-function. We also define poly-Bernoulli polynomials associated with $GL_2(\mathbb{C})$ which appear in their special values of these zeta-functions. We prove some functional relations for these zeta-functions, which are regarded as interpolation formulas of various relations among poly-Bernoulli numbers. Considering their special values, we prove difference relations and duality relations for poly-Bernoulli polynomials associated with $GL_2(\mathbb{C})$.

On a duality formula for certain sums of values of poly-Bernoulli polynomials and its application

We prove a duality formula for certain sums of values of poly-Bernoulli polynomials which generalizes dualities for poly-Bernoulli numbers. We first compute two types of generating functions for these sums, from which the duality formula is apparent. Secondly we give an analytic proof of the duality from the viewpoint of our previous study of zeta-functions of Arakawa-Kaneko type. As an application, we give a formula that relates poly-Bernoulli numbers to the Genocchi numbers.

Desingularization of multiple zeta-functions of generalized Hurwitz-Lerch type and evaluation of p-adic multiple L-functions at arbitrary integers

We study analytic properties of multiple zeta-functions of generalized Hurwitz-Lerch type. First, as a special type of them, we consider multiple zeta-functions of generalized Euler-Zagier-Lerch type and investigate their analytic properties which were already announced in our previous paper. Next we give `desingularization' of multiple zeta-functions of generalized Hurwitz-Lerch type, which include those of generalized Euler-Zagier-Lerch type, the Mordell-Tornheim type, and so on. As a result, the desingularized multiple zeta-function turns out to be an entire function and can be expressed as a finite sum of ordinary multiple zeta-functions of the same type. As applications, we explicitly compute special values of desingularized double zeta-functions of Euler-Zagier type. We also extend our previous results concerning a relationship between $p$-adic multiple $L$-functions and $p$-adic multiple star polylogarithms to more general indices with arbitrary (not necessarily all positive) integers.

Desingularization of complex multiple zeta-functions, fundamentals of $p$-adic multiple $L$-functions, and evaluation of their special values

This paper deals with a multiple version of zeta- and L-functions both in the complex case and in the p-adic case: [I] Our motivation in the complex case is to find suitable rigorous meaning of the values of multivariable multiple zeta-functions (MZFs) at non-positive integer points. (a) We reveal that MZFs turn to be entire on the whole space after taking the desingularization. Further we show that the desingularized function is given by a suitable finite linear combination of MZFs with some arguments shifted. It is also shown that specific combinations of Bernoulli numbers attain the special values at their non-positive integers of the desingularized ones. (b) Twisted MZFs can be continued to entire functions and their special values at non-positive integer points can be explicitly calculated. [II] Our work in the p-adic case is to develop the study on analytic side of the Kubota-Leopoldt p-adic L-functions (pLFs) into the multiple setting. We construct p-adic multiple L-functions (pMLFs), multivariable versions of their pLFs, by using a specific p-adic measure. We establish their various fundamental properties: (a) We establish their intimate connection with the above complex MZFs by showing that the special values of pMLFs at non-positive integers are expressed by the twisted multiple Bernoulli numbers, the special values of the complex MZFs at non-positive integers. (b) We extend Kummer congruence for Bernoulli numbers to congruences for the twisted multiple Bernoulli numbers. (c) We extend the vanishing property of the Kubota-Leopoldt pLFs with odd characters to our pMLFs. (d) We establish their close relationship with the p-adic twisted multiple polylogarithms (pTMPLs) by showing that the special values of pMLFs at positive integers are described by those of pTMPLs at roots of unity, which generalizes the previous result of Coleman in the single variable case.

Desingularization of complex multiple zeta-functions

We introduce the method of desingularization of multi-variable multiple zeta-functions (of the generalized Euler-Zagier type), under the motivation of finding suitable rigorous meaning of the values of multiple zeta-functions at non-positive integer points. We reveal that multiple zeta-functions (which are known to be meromorphic in the whole space with infinitely many singular hyperplanes) turn to be entire on the whole space after taking the desingularization. The desingularized function is given by a suitable finite `linear' combination of multiple zeta-functions with some arguments shifted. It is shown that specific combinations of Bernoulli numbers attain the special values at their non-positive integers of the desingularized ones. We also discuss twisted multiple zeta-functions, which can be continued to entire functions, and their special values at non-positive integer points can be explicitly calculated.

On multiple series of Eisenstein type

The aim of this paper is to study certain multiple series which can be regarded as multiple analogues of Eisenstein series. As a prior research, the second-named author considered double analogues of Eisenstein series and expressed them as polynomials in terms of ordinary Eisenstein series. This fact was derived from the analytic observation of infinite series involving hyperbolic functions which were based on the study of Cauchy, and also Ramanujan. In this paper, we prove an explicit relation formula among these series. This gives an alternative proof of this fact by using the technique of partial fraction decompositions of multiple series which was introduced by Gangl, Kaneko and Zagier. By the same method, we further show a certain multiple analogue of this fact and give some examples of explicit formulas. Finally we give several remarks about the relation between our present result and the previous work for infinite series involving hyperbolic functions.

Mean value theorems for the double zeta-function

We prove asymptotic formulas for mean square values of the Euler double zeta-function $ζ_2(s_0,s)$, with respect to $\Im s$. Those formulas enable us to propose a double analogue of the Lindel{ö}f hypothesis.
