Description
Summary:Many variations of the multiple zeta values have been found to play important roles in different branches of mathematics and theoretical physics in recent years, such as the cyclotomic/color version, which appears prominently in the computation of Feynman integrals. In this paper, we introduce a trigonometric variant of the Kaneko–Tsumura <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>ψ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-function (called the Kaneko–Tsumura <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mover accent="true"><mi>ψ</mi><mo>˜</mo></mover></semantics></math></inline-formula>-function) and discover some nice properties similar to those for ordinary Kaneko–Tsumura <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>ψ</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>-values using the method of iterated integrals, which was first studied systematically by K.T. Chen in the 1960s. In particular, we establish some duality formulas involving the Kaneko–Tsumura <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mover accent="true"><mi>ψ</mi><mo>˜</mo></mover></semantics></math></inline-formula>-function and alternating multiple <i>T</i>-values by adapting Yamamoto’s graphical representation method for computing special types of iterated integrals.
