{"product_id":"9789814689410","title":"Multiple Zeta Functions, Multiple Polylogarithms And Their Special Values","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first introductory book on multiple zeta functions and multiple polylogarithms which are the generalizations of the Riemann zeta function and the classical polylogarithms, respectively, to the multiple variable setting. It contains all the basic concepts and the important properties of these functions and their special values. This book is aimed at graduate students, mathematicians and physicists who are interested in this current active area of research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will provide a detailed and comprehensive introduction to these objects, their fascinating properties and interesting relations to other mathematical subjects, and various generalizations such as their \u003ci\u003eq\u003c\/i\u003e-analogs and their finite versions (by taking partial sums modulo suitable prime powers). Historical notes and exercises are provided at the end of each chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple Zeta Functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple Polylogarithms (MPLs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple Zeta Values (MZVs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinfeld Associator and Single-Valued MZVs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple Zeta Value Identities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetrized Multiple Zeta Values (SMZVs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple Harmonic Sums (MHSs) and Alternating Version\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinite Multiple Zeta Values and Finite Euler Sums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eq\u003c\/i\u003e-Analogs of Multiple Harmonic (Star) Sums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Advanced undergraduates and graduate students in mathematics, mathematicians interested in multiple zeta values.\u003cbr\u003eZeta Functions;Polylogarithms;Multiple Zeta Functions;Multiple Zeta Values;Multiple Polylogarithms;Multiple Harmonic Sums;Double Shuffle Relations;Mixed Hodge Structures;Drinfeld Associator;Quasi-symmetric Functions;Regularizations;q-analogs\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor the first time, a detailed explanation of the theory of multiple zeta values is given in book form along with numerous illustrations in explicit examples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe book provides for the first time a comprehensive introduction to multiple polylogarithms and their special values at roots of unity, from the basic definitions to the more advanced topics in current active research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe book contains a few quite intriguing results relating the special values of multiple zeta functions and multiple polylogarithms to other branches of mathematics and physics, such as knot theory and the theory of motives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMany exercises contain supplementary materials which deepens the reader's understanding of the main text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185357996272,"sku":"9789814689410","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814689410_p0.jpg?v=1763692280","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814689410","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
