Abstract
Résumé

In [36], Thakur defines function field analogs of the classical multiple zeta function, namely, $ζ_{d} (𝔽_{q} [T]; s_{1}, \dots, s_{d})$ and $ζ_{d} (K; s_{1}, \dots, s_{d})$ , where $K$ is a global function field. Star versions of these functions were further studied by Masri [28]. We prove reduction formulas for these star functions, extend the construction to function field analogs of multiple polylogarithms, and exhibit some formulas for multiple zeta values.

Dans [36], Thakur définit des analogues de la fonction zêta multiple sur les corps de fonctions, $ζ_{d} (𝔽_{q} [T]; s_{1}, \dots, s_{d})$ et $ζ_{d} (K; s_{1}, \dots, s_{d})$ , où $K$ est un corps de fonctions global. Les versions étoilées de ces fonctions ont été étudiées par Masri [28]. Nous prouvons des formules de réduction pour ces fonctions étoilées, nous définissons des analogues des polylogarithmes multiples et nous présentons quelques formules pour des valeurs zêta multiples.
