Milnor's conjecture on dilogarithm values at roots of unity
Milnor's conjecture on dilogarithm values at roots of unity
For an integer , let denote the Bloch–Wigner dilogarithm, and consider the real numbers indexed by integers relatively prime to with . Milnor's conjecture. For each integer , these real numbers are linearly independent over . The conjecture is motivated by the interpretation of as the volume of an ideal tetrahedron and connects dilogarithm values with hyperbolic geometry and -theory; its resolution status is not specified in the source.
