Goncharov's weight-four element conjecture

Let EE be a field and let xyx\neq y and zz be elements of E{0,1}E\setminus\{0,1\}. Define

A(x,y)=[x][y][x/y]+[(1x)/(1y)][(11/x)/(11/y)].A(x,y)=[x]-[y]-[x/y]+[(1-x)/(1-y)]-[(1-1/x)/(1-1/y)].

Let [x,z]3,1[x,z]_{3,1} denote the weight-four hyperlogarithmic symbol used in the paper, and set

B(x,y;z)=[x,z]3,1[y,z]3,1[x/y,z]3,1+[(1x)/(1y),z]3,1[(11/x)/(11/y),z]3,1.B(x,y;z)=[x,z]_{3,1}-[y,z]_{3,1}-[x/y,z]_{3,1}+[(1-x)/(1-y),z]_{3,1}-[(1-1/x)/(1-1/y),z]_{3,1}.

Goncharov's conjecture. The element B(x,y;z)B(x,y;z) belongs to P4(E){\cal P}_4(E); equivalently, it is a linear combination of 44-logarithms. The construction gives an element killed by δ2,2\delta_{2,2}, and the conjecture is a concrete instance of the proposed weight-four reduction from hyperlogarithms to polylogarithms.
