Double shuffle Lie algebra and special derivations
Abstract
Racinet's double shuffle Lie algebra is a Lie subalgebra of the Lie algebra of tangential derivations of the free Lie algebra with generators , i.e. of derivations such that and for some element . We prove: (1) is contained in the Lie subalgebra of of special derivations, i.e. satisfying the additional condition that for some element , where ; (2) is stable under the involution of induced by the exchange of and . The first statement: (a) says that any element of satisfies the "senary relation" (a fact announced without proof by Ecalle in 2011); (b) implies the inclusion (which was proved by Schneps in 2012 only conditionally to the truth of (1)). We also derive the analogues of statements (a) and (b) respective to Racinet's ``double shuffle schemes'' and to the Betti double shuffle group introduced in our earlier work.
