  • Mathematics and Statistics Seminar, Dr. Takao Komatsu

    Students, faculty, and staff are invited to attend the upcoming Mathematics and Statistics Seminar with speaker Dr. Takao Komatsu on Tuesday, April 28, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM in GSB 307.  The talk is entitled Some Explicit Values of a q-Eulerian Multiple Zeta Value at Roots of Unity.


    Abstract

    In recent years, the theory of multiple zeta values has seen rapid development, with growing interest in their q-analogues—known as q-multiple zeta values—arising from q-generalizations. These q-analogues recover the classical multiple zeta values in the limit as q -> 1.

    As part of ongoing research into generalized Stirling numbers, Professor Komatsu has investigated finite q-multiple zeta values. In this talk, he will present results expressing these values using Eulerian numbers and derive explicit formulas in the case where q is a primitive root of unity.
