In a recent paper, A. Libgober showed that the multiplicative sequence {Q_i(c_1,...,c_i)} of Chern classes corresponding to the power series Q(z)=1/Gamma(1+z) appears in a relation between the Chern classes of certain Calabi-Yau manifolds and the periods of their mirrors. We show that the polynomials Q_i can be expressed in terms of multiple zeta values.

In this paper we present some new identities for multiple polylogarithms (abbr. MPLs) and multiple harmonic star sums (abbr. MHSSs) by using the methods of iterated integral computations of logarithm functions. Then, by applying these formulas obtained, we establish some explicit relations between Kaneko-Yamamoto type multiple zeta values (abbr. K-Y MZVs), multiple zeta values (abbr. MZVs) and MPLs. Further, we find some explicit relations between MZVs and multiple zeta star values (abbr. MZSVs). Furthermore, we define an Ap{e}ry-type variant of MZSVs $zeta^star_B({bf k})$ (called multiple zeta $B$-star values, abbr. MZBSVs) which involve MHSSs and central binomial coefficients, and establish some explicit connections among MZVs, alternating MZVs and MZBSVs by using the method of iterated integrals. Finally, some interesting consequences and illustrative examples are presented.
In this paper we show that in perturbative string theory the genus-one contribution to formal 2-point amplitudes can be related to the genus-zero contribution to 4-point amplitudes. This is achieved by studying special linear combinations of multiple zeta values that appear as coefficients of the amplitudes. We also exploit our results to relate closed strings to open strings at genus one using Browns single-valued projection, proving a conjecture of Broedel, Schlotterer and the second author.
The expansion of a modular graph function on a torus of modulus $tau$ near the cusp is given by a Laurent polynomial in $y= pi Im (tau)$ with coefficients that are rational multiples of single-valued multiple zeta-values, apart from the leading term whose coefficient is rational and exponentially suppressed terms. We prove that the coefficients of the non-leading terms in the Laurent polynomial of the modular graph function $D_N(tau)$ associated with a melon graph is free of irreducible multiple zeta-values and can be written as a polynomial in odd zeta-values with rational coefficients for arbitrary $N geq 0$. The proof proceeds by expressing a generating function for $D_N(tau)$ in terms of an integral over the Virasoro-Shapiro closed-string tree amplitude.
We present a summary of recent and older results on Bessel integrals and their relation with zeta numbers.
In this paper, we study some Euler-Apery-type series which involve central binomial coefficients and (generalized) harmonic numbers. In particular, we establish elegant explicit formulas of some series by iterated integrals and alternating multiple zeta values. Based on these formulas, we further show that some other series are reducible to ln(2), zeta values, and alternating multiple zeta values by considering the contour integrals related to gamma functions, polygamma functions and trigonometric functions. The evaluations of a large number of special Euler-Apery-type series are presented as examples.
