Drinfeld's Grothendieck–Teichmüller conjecture for the motivic Galois group

Let MTM(Z)\mathcal{MTM}(\mathbb{Z}) be the Tannakian category of mixed Tate motives over Z\mathbb{Z}, and let G1=GmU1\mathcal{G}_{1}=\mathbb{G}_{m}\ltimes\mathcal{U}_{1} be its motivic Galois group, with prounipotent part U1\mathcal{U}_{1}. The map λ1:U1expt3,10\lambda_{1}:\mathcal{U}_{1}\to\exp\mathfrak{t}_{3,1}^{0} identifies the motivic Galois group with a subgroup of the prounipotent Grothendieck–Teichmüller group GRT1expt3,10\mathrm{GRT}_{1}\subset\exp\mathfrak{t}_{3,1}^{0}. Drinfeld's Grothendieck–Teichmüller conjecture.

im(λ1)=GRT1.\operatorname{im}(\lambda_{1})=\mathrm{GRT}_{1}.

The conjecture asserts that the motivic Galois action on the motivic fundamental torsor of paths on P1{0,1,}\mathbb{P}^{1}\setminus\{0,1,\infty\} is governed exactly by the prounipotent Grothendieck–Teichmüller group. Brown proved that λ1\lambda_{1} is injective, but equality with GRT1\mathrm{GRT}_{1} remains open.
