Arborified multiple zeta values

Abstract: We describe some particular finite sums of multiple zeta values which arise from J. Ecalle's "arborification", a process which can be described as a surjective Hopf algebra morphism from the Hopf algebra of decorated rooted forests onto a Hopf algebra of shuffles or quasi-shuffles. This formalism holds for both the iterated sum picture and the iterated integral picture. It involves a decoration of the forests by the positive integers in the first case, by only two colours in the second case.
