What is the meaning of cyclically equivalence classes of multiple indices?

269 Views Asked by At

Can you please give me an example for the cyclic equivalence classes of multiple indices on the following set?

$$ I(w,d)=\{\ (k_1,...k_d)\mid k_1+\ldots+k_d=w, k_1,...k_d \ge 1\,\}$$

where $ w$: weight and $k$: depth of multiple zeta values.

And I want to know what is meant by the following statement.

"Two elements of $I(w,d)$ are cyclically equivalent if there are cyclic permutations of each other".

Eg: $ (k_1,...k_d) \equiv (k_2,...k_d,k_1) \equiv (k_3,...k_d,k_1,k_2) $. Is this correct for the cyclic equivalent elements?

For example, $$I(6,3)=\{(1,1,4),(1,2,3),(1,3,2),(1,4,1),(2,1,3),(2,2,2),(2,3,1),(3,1,2),(3,2,1),(4,1,1)\} $$ and herein we have the cyclic equivalences $(1,1,4)\sim (1,4,1)\sim(4,1,1)$ and $(1,2,3)\sim(2,3,1)\sim(3,1,2)$ and $(1,3,2)\sim(3,2,1)\sim(2,1,3)$, whereas $(2,2,2)$ is cyclically equivalent only to itself. Note specifically that $(1,2,3)\not\sim(1,3,2)$ as it takes a non-cyclic permutation to turn one into the other.
