Galois symmetries of fundamental groupoids and noncommutative geometry
Abstract
Description
We define motivic iterated integrals on the affine line, and give a simple proof of the formula for the coproduct in the Hopf algebra of they make. We show that it encodes the group law in the automorphism group of certain non-commutative variety. We relate the coproduct with the coproduct in the Hopf algebra of decorated rooted planar trivalent trees - a planar decorated version of the Hopf algebra defined by Connes and Kreimer. As an application we derive explicit formulas for the coproduct in the motivic multiple polylogarithm Hopf algebra. We give a criteria for a motivic iterated integral to be unramified at a prime ideal, and use it to estimate from above the space spanned by the values of iterated integrals. In chapter 7 we discuss some general principles relating Feynman integrals and mixed motives.
