The universal standard-relations conjecture for MPVs

Let RRDSR_{RDS} and RSRR_{SR} be the universal algebras associated respectively with regularized double shuffle relations and standard relations, and let ZZ denote the map realizing multiple polylogarithm values in the relevant target algebra. For N=1,2N=1,2 take (R,ZR)=(R,Z)(R,Z_R)=(\mathbb{R},Z), and for a prime N=p3N=p\geq 3 take (R,ZR)=(C,Z)(R,Z_R)=(\mathbb{C},Z).

Universal standard-relations conjecture. If N=1N=1 or 22, the map φR\varphi_{\mathbb{R}} is injective, so the algebra of MPVs is isomorphic to RRDSR_{RDS}. If N=pN=p is prime with p3p\geq 3, the map φC\varphi_{\mathbb{C}} is injective, so the algebra of MPVs of level pp is isomorphic to RSRR_{SR}. Moreover, if N=3N=3, then ZLRDS=ZSRZ_{LRDS}=Z_{SR} and RLRDS=RSRR_{LRDS}=R_{SR}. The claim asserts that the listed standard relations are complete in the stated levels; the source gives no resolution.
