Abstract

We discuss an algebraic connection between two kinds of multiple zeta values or their q-analogues: the (q-)multiple zeta values and the (q-)multiple zeta-star values. These two classes of values generate the same algebra, but in this paper, we show that the translation map between these two classes has a quite interesting algebraic property in a general setting, for example, the compatibility with the harmonic product. We also study several applications of the result.
