چکیده

In this paper, for any positive integer N we shall study the special values of multiple polylogarithms at Nth roots of unity, called multiple polylogarithmic values (MPVs) of level N . By standard conjectures linear relations exist only between MPVs of the same weight. LetMPVZ(w,N) be the Z-module spanned by MPVs of weight w and level N . Our main interest is to investigate for what w and N there exists a basis consisting of MPVs in MPVZ(w,N). In the scope of our investigation this problem always seems to have affirmative answers except for multiple zeta values (level one MPVs) of weight 6 and 7, provided that the conjectural dimensions of MPVQ(w,N) are correct.

Multiple polylogarithms and mixed Tate motives

from analytic, Hodge-theoretic and motivic points of view. Let μN be the group of all N -th roots of unity. One of the reasons to develop such a theory was a mysterious correspondence (loc. cit.) between the structure of the motivic fundamental group π 1 (Gm − μN ) and the geometry and topology of modular varieties Y1(m;N) := Γ1(m;N)\GLm(R)/R ∗ + ·Om Here Γ1(m;N) ⊂ GLm(Z) is the subgroup fixing...

HIGHER MAHLER MEASURE OF AN n-VARIABLE FAMILY

We prove formulas for the k-higher Mahler measure of a family of rational functions with an arbitrary number of variables. Our formulas reveal relations with multiple polylogarithms evaluated at certain roots of unity.

Periods and mixed motives

We define motivic multiple polylogarithms and prove the double shuffle relations for them. We use this to study the motivic fundamental group π 1 (Gm −μN ), where μN is the group of all N -th roots of unity, and relate the structure of π 1 (Gm − μN ) to the geometry and topology of modular varieties Xm(N) := Γ1(m;N)\GLm(R)/R ∗ + ·Om for m = 1, 2, 3, 4, .... We get new results about the action o...

Multiple polylogarithms, cyclotomy and modular complexes

The multiple ζ-values were invented and studied by Euler [E] and then forgotten. They showed up again in such different subjects as quantum groups [Dr] (the Drinfeld associator), Zagier’s studies [Z1-2], the Kontsevich integrals for Vassiliev knot invariants, mixed Tate motives over SpecZ [G1-2], and, recently, in computations in quantum field theory [B], [Kr]. The multiple polylogarithms were ...

Harmonic Sums and Polylogarithms Generated by Cyclotomic Polynomials

The computation of Feynman integrals in massive higher order perturbative calculations in renormalizable Quantum Field Theories requires extensions of multiply nested harmonic sums, which can be generated as real representations by Mellin transforms of Poincaré– iterated integrals including denominators of higher cyclotomic polynomials. We derive the cyclotomic harmonic polylogarithms and harmo...
