Rooted tree maps for multiple $L$-values from a perspective of harmonic algebras

Abstract

In this paper, we show the image of rooted tree maps themselves forms a subspace of the kernel of the evaluation map of multiple $L$-values. For its proof, we define the diamond product as a modified harmonic product and find its properties. We also show that $\tau$-conjugate rooted tree maps are their antipodes.
