Multiple zeta values and periods of moduli spaces 𝔐 ¯ 0 , n

Francis C. S. Brown (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We prove a conjecture due to Goncharov and Manin which states that the periods of the moduli spaces 𝔐 0 , n of Riemann spheres with n marked points are multiple zeta values. We do this by introducing a differential algebra of multiple polylogarithms on 𝔐 0 , n and proving that it is closed under the operation of taking primitives. The main idea is to apply a version of Stokes’ formula iteratively to reduce each period integral to multiple zeta values. We also give a geometric interpretation of the double shuffle...
