Symmetric multiple Eisenstein series

Takashi Hara, Kenji Sakugawa, Koji Tasaka

TL;DR

This work introduces symmetric multiple Eisenstein series $G^{\shuffle,S}_{\boldsymbol{k}}(\tau)$ as a shuffle-regularized analogue of classical multiple Eisenstein series, linking their constant terms to symmetric multiple zeta values. The authors prove that these symmetric series satisfy shuffle relations and establish deep connections to modular forms, elliptic zeta values, and Fay-shuffle spaces. They determine the structure and dimensions of the spaces spanned by symmetric double Eisenstein series at even and odd weights, and show that modular forms can be expressed via symmetric triple Eisenstein series, providing a first step toward modular phenomena for symmetric zeta values. Representation-theoretic and combinatorial tools, including $\mathfrak{S}_3$-representations and the linear shuffle space, underpin the dimension counts and dualities with period polynomials, completing a comprehensive framework linking symmetric MZVs, modular forms, and Eisenstein-series regularizations.

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the symmetric multiple Eisenstein series, a variant of the multiple Eisenstein series. As a fundamental result, we show that they satisfy the linear shuffle relation. As a case study, we investigate the vector space spanned by symmetric double Eisenstein series of weight $k$. When $k$ is even, it coincides with the space spanned by modular forms of weight $k$ and the derivative of the Eisenstein series of weight $k-2$. For $k$ odd, we prove that its dimension equals $\lfloor k/3\rfloor$. We further provide an explicit correspondence between the linear shuffle relation and the Fay-shuffle relation satisfied by elliptic double zeta values, which may be of independent interest. In connection with modular forms, we prove that every modular form can be expressed as a linear combination of symmetric triple Eisenstein series. This will serve as a first step toward understanding modular phenomena for symmeric multiple zeta values observed by Kaneko and Zagier.

Key Result

Theorem 1.1

Every cusp form of weight $k$ for ${\rm SL}_2({\mathbb Z})$ with rational Fourier coefficients is presented as a ${\mathbb Q}$-linear combination of symmetric triple Eisenstein series $\widetilde{G}_{k_1,k_2,k_3}^{\shuffle,S}(\tau)$ for $k_1,k_2,k_3\in {\mathbb N}$ with $k=k_1+k_2+k_3$.
