Cyclotomic p-adic multi-zeta values

Abstract: The cyclotomic $p$-adic multi-zeta values are the $p$-adic periods of $\pi_{1}(\mathbb{G}{m} \setminus \mu{M},\cdot),$ the unipotent fundamental group of the multiplicative group minus the $M$-th roots of unity. In this paper, we compute the cyclotomic $p$-adic multi-zeta values at all depths. This paper generalizes the results in [6] and [7]. Since the main result gives explicit formulas we expect it to be useful in proving non-vanishing and transcendence results for these $p$-adic periods and also, through the use of $p$-adic Hodge theory, in proving non-triviality results for the corresponding $p$-adic Galois representations.
