Abstract

It is well known that a triple Beukers-type integral, as defined by G. Rhin and C. Viola, can be transformed into a suitable triple Sorokin-type integral. I will discuss possible extensions to the n-dimensional case of a similar equivalence between suitably defined Beukers-type and Sorokin-type multiple integrals, with consequences on the arithmetical structure of such integrals as linear combinations of zeta-values with rational coefficients.
