Multi-Poly-Bernoulli Numbers and Finite Multiple Zeta Values

Abstract We define the multi-poly-Bernoulli numbers slightly differently from the similar numbers given in earlier papers by Bayad, Hamahata, and Masubuchi, and study their basic properties. Our motivation for the new definition is the connection to "finite multiple zeta values", which have been studied by Hoffman and Zhao, among others, and are recast in a recent work by Zagier and the second author. We write the finite multiple zeta value in terms of our new multi-poly-Bernoulli numbers

OHNO-TYPE RELATIONS FOR CLASSICAL AND FINITE MULTIPLE ZETA-STAR VALUES

Ohno's relation is a generalization of both the sum formula and the duality formula for multiple zeta values. Oyama gave a similar relation for finite multiple zeta values, defined by Kaneko and Zagier. In this paper, we prove relations of similar nature for both multiple zeta-star values and finite multiple zeta-star values. Our proof for multiple zeta-star values uses the linear part of Kawashima's relation
