An equivalence between desingularized and renormalized values of multiple zeta functions at negative integers

Abstract

It is known that the special values of multiple zeta functions at non-positive arguments are indeterminate in most cases due to the occurrences of infinitely many singularities. In order to give a suitable rigorous meaning of the special values there, Furusho, Komori, Matsumoto and Tsumura introduced the desingularized values by the desingularization method to resolve all singularities. While, Ebrahimi-Fard, Manchon and Singer introduced the renormalized values to keep the "shuffle" relation by the renormalization procedure \`a la Connes and Kreimer. In this paper, we reveal an equivalence, that is, an explicit interrelationship between these two values. As a corollary, we also obtain an explicit formula to describe renormalized values in terms of Bernoulli numbers.
