    Decomposition of elliptic multiple zeta values and iterated Eisenstein integrals

    Get PDF
    We describe a decomposition algorithm for elliptic multiple zeta values, which amounts to the construction of an injective map ψ\psi from the algebra of elliptic multiple zeta values to a space of iterated Eisenstein integrals. We give many examples of this decomposition, and conclude with a short discussion about the image of ψ\psi. It turns out that the failure of surjectivity of ψ\psi is in some sense governed by period polynomials of modular forms.Comment: v2, minor change

    On the algebraic structure of iterated integrals of quasimodular forms

    Get PDF
    We study the algebra IQM\mathcal{I}^{QM} of iterated integrals of quasimodular forms for SL2(Z)\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}), which is the smallest extension of the algebra QMQM_{\ast} of quasimodular forms, which is closed under integration. We prove that IQM\mathcal{I}^{QM} is a polynomial algebra in infinitely many variables, given by Lyndon words on certain monomials in Eisenstein series. We also prove an analogous result for the MM_{\ast}-subalgebra IM\mathcal{I}^{M} of IQM\mathcal{I}^{QM} of iterated integrals of modular forms.Comment: v2, minor changes, to appear in Algebra and Number Theor

    Elliptic Double Zeta Values

    Full text link
    We study an elliptic analogue of multiple zeta values, the elliptic multiple zeta values of Enriquez, which are the coefficients of the elliptic KZB associator. Originally defined by iterated integrals on a once-punctured complex elliptic curve, it turns out that they can also be expressed as certain linear combinations of indefinite iterated integrals of Eisenstein series and multiple zeta values. In this paper, we prove that the Q\mathbb{Q}-span of these elliptic multiple zeta values forms a Q\mathbb{Q}-algebra, which is naturally filtered by the length and is conjecturally graded by the weight. Our main result is a proof of a formula for the number of Q\mathbb{Q}-linearly independent elliptic multiple zeta values of lengths one and two for arbitrary weight.Comment: 22 page

    On Ecalle's and Brown's polar solutions to the double shuffle equations modulo products

    Full text link
    Two explicit sets of solutions to the double shuffle equations modulo products were introduced by Ecalle and Brown respectively. We place the two solutions into the same algebraic framework and compare them. We find that they agree up to and including depth four but differ in depth five by an explicit solution to the linearized double shuffle equations with an exotic pole structure.Comment: 22 pages, final version, to appear in Kyushu J.

    Relations between elliptic multiple zeta values and a special derivation algebra

    Full text link
    We investigate relations between elliptic multiple zeta values and describe a method to derive the number of indecomposable elements of given weight and length. Our method is based on representing elliptic multiple zeta values as iterated integrals over Eisenstein series and exploiting the connection with a special derivation algebra. Its commutator relations give rise to constraints on the iterated integrals over Eisenstein series relevant for elliptic multiple zeta values and thereby allow to count the indecomposable representatives. Conversely, the above connection suggests apparently new relations in the derivation algebra. Under https://tools.aei.mpg.de/emzv we provide relations for elliptic multiple zeta values over a wide range of weights and lengths.Comment: 43 pages, v2:replaced with published versio

    An algebraic characterization of the Kronecker function

    Full text link
    We characterize the generating series of extended period polynomials of normalized Hecke eigenforms for PSL2(Z)\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb Z) studied by Zagier in terms of the period relations and existence of a suitable factorization. For this we prove a characterization of the Kronecker function as the `fundamental solution' to the Fay identity.Comment: 11 pages, final version, minor differences in abstract and acknowledgements compared to published versio

    Elliptic multizetas and the elliptic double shuffle relations

    Full text link
    We define an elliptic generating series whose coefficients, the elliptic multizetas, are related to the elliptic analogues of multiple zeta values introduced by Enriquez as the coefficients of his elliptic associator; both sets of coefficients lie in O(H)\mathcal{O}(\mathfrak{H}), the ring of functions on the Poincar\'e upper half-plane H\mathfrak H. The elliptic multizetas generate a Q\mathbb Q-algebra E\mathcal{E} which is an elliptic analogue of the algebra of multiple zeta values. Working modulo 2πi2\pi i, we show that the algebra E\mathcal{E} decomposes into a geometric and an arithmetic part and study the precise relationship between the elliptic generating series and the elliptic associator defined by Enriquez. We show that the elliptic multizetas satisfy a double shuffle type family of algebraic relations similar to the double shuffle relations satisfied by multiple zeta values. We prove that these elliptic double shuffle relations give all algebraic relations among elliptic multizetas if (a) the classical double shuffle relations give all algebraic relations among multiple zeta values and (b) the elliptic double shuffle Lie algebra has a certain natural semi-direct product structure analogous to that established by Enriquez for the elliptic Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller Lie algebra.Comment: major revision, to appear in: Int.

    Towards algebraic iterated integrals on elliptic curves via the universal vectorial extension

    Full text link
    For an elliptic curve EE defined over a field kCk\subset \mathbb C, we study iterated path integrals of logarithmic differential forms on EE^\dagger, the universal vectorial extension of EE. These are generalizations of the classical periods and quasi-periods of EE, and are closely related to multiple elliptic polylogarithms and elliptic multiple zeta values. Moreover, if kk is a finite extension of Q\mathbb Q, then these iterated integrals along paths between kk-rational points are periods in the sense of Kontsevich--Zagier.Comment: 12 pages; for proceedings of workshop "Various aspects of multiple zeta values", RIMS, Kyoto, Japan, 18th-22nd.
