Physical and Engineering Sciences Exploratory Workshops

New Approaches To Multiple Zeta Values

Convened by: Kurusch Ebrahimi-Fard (ES), Luis Álvarez-Cónsul (ES), José Ignacio Burgos Gil (ES), Marina Logares (ES), Dominique Manchon (FR), Juanjo Rué Perna (ES)

Location: 29 September-3 October 2013, Madrid, Spain

Keywords

multiple zeta values; polylogarithms; periods and motives; Hopf algebras; quantum field theory

Summary

Multiple zeta values form a subset of the real numbers with remarkable families of polynomial identities (with rational coefficients) between them. They stand at the intersection of several mathematical areas: algebra, combinatorics, algebraic geometry (via Grothendieck's motives), Lie group theory, number theory. Moreover, they have strong links with high-energy physics (quantum field theory). By inviting leading experts the present exploratory workshop aims at bringing all these different approaches together in order to shed new light on the whole. Future collaboration and joint papers between participants are expected to follow. A trimester on the subject is planned at ICMAT in 2014.
