Zagier's conjecture on motivic Ext groups and single-valued unipotent polylogarithms

At least 10 years old · documented by

Let KK be the field appearing in the motivic category, and for each integer n≥2n\geq 2 write

En:=Ext⁡K1(Q(0),Q(n)).E_n:=\operatorname{Ext}^1_K(\mathbb{Q}(0),\mathbb{Q}(n)).

For t∈Kt\in K, let Li⁡nU,sv(t)\operatorname{Li}_n^{U,sv}(t) denote the single-valued unipotent nn-logarithm. Zagier's conjecture. For every n≥2n\geq 2, the group EnE_n is spanned by the elements Li⁡nU,sv(t)\operatorname{Li}_n^{U,sv}(t) with t∈Kt\in K.

The conjecture is known for n=2n=2 and n=3n=3, and for cyclotomic fields KK. Outside the cyclotomic case, the source notes that explicit conjectural constructions of elements of EnE_n are largely unavailable, so the general statement remains open.
