Title: Hirzebruch L-polynomials and multiple zeta values,
Abstract: We express the coefficients of the Hirzebruch L-polynomials in terms of
certain alternating multiple zeta values. In particular, we show that every
monomial in the Pontryagin classes appears with a non-zero coefficient, with
the expected sign. Similar results hold for the polynomials associated to the
A-hat genus.
