Goncharov's freeness conjecture for the motivic Galois Lie algebra

About 26 years old · traced to

Let ℓ\ell be a prime, let Q(μℓ∞){\mathbb Q}(\mu_{\ell^\infty}) be the cyclotomic extension of Q{\mathbb Q}, and consider the action of its Galois group on the ℓ{\ell}-adic unipotent completion of the fundamental group of P1−{0,1,∞}{{\mathbb P}^1-\{0,1,\infty\}} based at 01→\overrightarrow{01}. Let g\mathfrak g be the Lie algebra of the Zariski closure of this Galois image in the automorphism group.

Goncharov's conjecture. The Lie algebra g\mathfrak g is a prounipotent Lie algebra freely generated by elements z3,z5,z7,…z_3,z_5,z_7,\dots, where zmz_m has weight −2m-2m.

The conjecture is a freeness strengthening of Deligne's generation conjecture. The supplied status evidence says that the generation part is proved in Hain--Matsumoto, but does not state that the freeness assertion is proved; accordingly, the full conjecture is recorded as open.
