Alternating double t-values and T-values

Abstract

Abstract Recently, Hoffman (Commun. Number Theory Phys. 13:529–567, 2019), Kaneko and Tsumura (Tsukuba J. Math. (in press), 2020) introduced and systematically studied two variants of multiple zeta values of level two, i.e., multiple t-values and multiple T-values, respectively. In this paper, by the contour integration and residue theorem, we establish two general identities, which further reduce to the expressions of the alternating double t-values and T-values. Some examples are also provided.
