> Leonardo Building Euler Lecture Hall

> *Title:* Finite multiple zeta values and the poor man's adele ring
>
> *Abstract:*
> The "poor man's adele ring" is the ring consisting of a number modulo 
> p for all prime numbers p, with two collections being equal if they 
> differ at only finitely many primes. This ring contains the rational 
> numbers and analogues of many famous real numbers, such as Euler's 
> constant or log 2. Much more interesting are various analogues of the 
> classical multiple zeta values that have played a big role in many 
> questions of mathematics and mathematical physics in recent years. 
> These involve surprising and beautiful combinatorial relations which 
> will be described.
> The talk, which is divided into two parts, is meant for a general 
> audience and will be entirely self-contained, without assuming any 
> prior knowledge. The work described is joint with Masanobu Kaneko of 
> Kyushu University.
>
> All are welcome to join.
