Goncharov's algebraic structure conjecture for multiple zeta values

About 25 years old · traced to

Let Z{\cal Z} be the commutative algebra over Q\mathbb Q spanned by multiple zeta values, and let Zk{\cal Z}_k denote its weight-kk subspace. Let F(3,5,...)∙{\cal F}(3,5,...)_{\bullet} be the free graded Lie algebra generated by elements e−(2n+1)e_{-(2n+1)} of degree −(2n+1)-(2n+1) for n≥1n\geq 1, and let UF(3,5,...)∙∨U{\cal F}(3,5,...)_{\bullet}^{\vee} be the graded dual of its universal enveloping algebra, with π2\pi^2 assigned degree 22. Goncharov's conjecture. The weight provides a grading on Z{\cal Z}, and there is an isomorphism of graded algebras over Q\mathbb Q:

Z∙≅Q[π2]⊗QUF(3,5,...)∙∨.{\cal Z}_{\bullet}\cong \mathbb Q[\pi^2]\otimes_{\mathbb Q}U{\cal F}(3,5,...)_{\bullet}^{\vee}.

This conjecturally gives the complete algebraic structure and all algebraic relations among multiple zeta values.
