The Drinfeld-associator generation conjecture for unramified Tate periods

About 27 years old · traced to

Let PP be the algebra of periods, let PZ,TateP_{\mathbb{Z},\mathrm{Tate}} be the subalgebra generated by (2πi)±1(2\pi i)^{\pm1} and periods of mixed Tate motives unramified over Spec(Z)\mathsf{Spec}(\mathbb{Z}), and let Iϵ1,…,ϵnI_{\epsilon_1,\dots,\epsilon_n} denote the integrals occurring in Drinfeld's associator. The Drinfeld-associator generation conjecture. PZ,TateP_{\mathbb{Z},\mathrm{Tate}} is the subalgebra of PP generated by (2πi)±1(2\pi i)^{\pm1} and by periods whose evaluations are the integrals Iϵ1,…,ϵnI_{\epsilon_1,\dots,\epsilon_n} appearing in Drinfeld's associator. The source motivates this with dimension counts and computer experiments, but gives no proof or resolution.
