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.
