Todd's relation conjecture and binary relations for multiple zeta values in positive characteristic

Published 8 Sep 2026 in math.NT | (2609.08263v1)

Abstract: We prove Todd's relation conjecture: all F<em>q(θ)\mathbb{F}<em>q(θ)-linear relations of Thakur's multiple zeta values are generated from the fundamental binary relation by the operators B<sup>S\mathcal{B}<sup>{\mathrm{S}}, C<sup>S\mathcal{C}<sup>{\mathrm{S}}, B<sup>S</sup>C<sup>S\mathcal{B}<sup>{\mathrm{S}}\circ</sup> \mathcal{C}<sup>{\mathrm{S}}; moreover they are also generated by B<sup>S\mathcal{B}<sup>{\ast\mathrm{S}}, C<sup>S\mathcal{C}<sup>{\mathrm{S}}, B<sup>SC<sup>S\mathcal{B}<sup>{\ast\mathrm{S}}\circ\mathcal{C}<sup>{\mathrm{S}}. The B<sup>S\mathcal{B}<sup>{\ast\mathrm{S}}-part of this conjecture has been proved by Chang, Chen and Mishiba. We prove the whole conjecture for Carlitz multiple polylogarithm values, which implies the B<sup>S\mathcal{B}<sup>{\mathrm{S}}-part for multiple zeta values. We also determine all fixed relations and binary relations. Let BR<sup>Sw\mathfrak{BR}<sup>{\mathrm{S}}_w be the Fq(θ)\mathbb{F}_q(θ)-linear space spanned by binary relations of weight ww, and let Fix<sup>Sw\operatorname{Fix}<sup>{\mathrm{S}}_w be the Fq(θ)\mathbb{F}_q(θ)-linear space spanned by fixed relations. We derive generating functions </em>w1(dimF<em>q(θ)Fix<sup>Sw)x<sup>w=x<sup>q+1(1x)(12x)(12x+x<sup>q+1)\sum</em>{w\ge 1}\bigl(\dim_{\mathbb{F}<em>q(θ)}\operatorname{Fix}<sup>{\mathrm{S}}_w\bigr)x<sup>w=\frac{x<sup>{q+1}(1-x)}{(1-2x)(1-2x+x<sup>{q+1})} and </em>w1(dimFq(θ)BR<sup>Sw)x<sup>w=x<sup>q(1x)(12x)(12x+x<sup>q+1).\sum</em>{w\ge 1}\bigl(\dim_{\mathbb{F}_q(θ)}\mathfrak{BR}<sup>{\mathrm{S}}_w\bigr)x<sup>w=\frac{x<sup>q(1-x)}{(1-2x)(1-2x+x<sup>{q+1})}. Our results are based on the recent work of Im-Kim-Ngo Dac on the Fq\mathbb{F}_q-linear relations of Thakur's multiple zeta values, and a system of transfer theorems between multiple zeta values and multiple polylogarithm values.
