# series index manipulation of a polylogarithm product

I've been playing around with the product of polylogarithms, and have come across the following triple sum:

$$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \sum_{m=1}^{\infty} \sum_{v=1}^{\infty} \frac{z^{m+n+v}\omega^{m+2v}}{(mnv)^{3}}$$

Where $\omega=e^{\frac{2\pi i}{3}}$. I would like to be able to additively decompose this sum without dealing with objects like

$$\omega\sum_{m,n,v\in\mathbb{N}, m+2v \equiv 1 \mod 3} \frac{z^{m+n+v}}{(mnv)^{3}}$$

Because the modulo in the index sort of limits my ability to manipulate what's going on. I would like to define a new index $a$ where $m+2v=3a+1$, but at the moment it looks like I'm going to have to do a ton of algebra to eliminate the $m$ and the $v$. Is there a straightforward way to make the substitution which doesn't turn into manipulating power series of the indices themselves?

Have you considered splitting the sum into parts, one for each residue class (e.g. of $m$)? Anyways, the Iverson bracket is extraordinarily useful for complicated summation tasks, once you get used to it. (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iverson_bracket) –  Hurkyl Jul 20 '12 at 0:43
