Abstract: A classical multiple zeta value (MZV) is said to be Eulerian if it is a rational multiple of a power of 2$\pi$i. Typical examples (from Euler's formula) are the Riemann zeta values (depth one MZV's) at even positive integers. It is a natural question whether one has a criterion for Eulerian MZV's, but it is still open. In this talk, we will consider the analogous question for those positive characteristic MZV's introduced by Thakur. We will present an effective criterion for these Eulerian MZV's, and show how this criterion can be implemented by Magma to determine whether a given MZV is Eulerian. This is a joint work with M. Papanikolas and J. Yu.
