Zeta Value Identities From Iterated Integrals With Additional Factors

Abstract

A multiple zeta value can always be represented by its Drinfel’d integral. If we add some factors appeared in the integrand of the integral representation of the multiple zeta value, it would still represent a linear combination of multiple zeta values, but the depths and weights may decrease. In this paper, we shall investigate some of multiple zeta values obtained from Drinfel’d integral with additional factors aforementioned and study a class of deformation of multiple zeta values. Results are then obtained as analogues or generalizations of the sum formula of multiple zeta values.
