Finite multiple zeta values, symmetric multiple zeta values and unified multiple zeta functions

Abstract

We introduce entire multiple zeta functions, which are natural interpolations of symmetric multiple zeta values. Moreover we give further generalizations which interpolate these zeta functions, $\widehat{\mathcal{A}}$-finite multiple zeta values and $\widehat{\mathcal{S}}$-symmetric multiple zeta values. We also show that the correspondence which Kaneko--Zagier conjecture suggests holds on nonpositive integers for finite multiple zeta values and special values of these multiple zeta functions.
