Bloch's relating values of the Riemann zeta function at negative integers with a certain Lie algebra of operators.20 pages, LaTeX; more exposition and two references added; to appear in Letters in Mathematical PhysicsQuantum AlgebraHigh Energy Physics - TheoryNumber TheoryRings and AlgebrasRepresentation Theory17B69 (Primary) 11M06, 17B65, 17B66, 17B68, 81T40 (Secondary)Application of a "Jacobi identity" for vertex operator algebras to zeta values and differential operatorstext
