Abstract

Racinet's double shuffle Lie algebra dmr0\mathfrak{dmr}_0 is a Lie subalgebra of the Lie algebra tder\mathfrak{tder} of tangential derivations of the free Lie algebra with generators x0,x1x_0,x_1, i.e. of derivations such that x10x_1\mapsto 0 and x0[a,x0]x_0\mapsto [a,x_0] for some element aa. We prove: (1) dmr0\mathfrak{dmr}_0 is contained in the Lie subalgebra sder\mathfrak{sder} of tder\mathfrak{tder} of special derivations, i.e. satisfying the additional condition that x[b,x]x_\infty\mapsto [b,x_\infty] for some element bb, where x:=x1x0x_\infty:=x_1-x_0; (2) dmr0\mathfrak{dmr}_0 is stable under the involution of sder\mathfrak{sder} induced by the exchange of x0x_0 and xx_\infty. The first statement: (a) says that any element of dmr0\mathfrak{dmr}_0 satisfies the "senary relation" (a fact announced without proof by Ecalle in 2011); (b) implies the inclusion dmr0krv2\mathfrak{dmr}_0\subset \mathfrak{krv}_2 (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'' DMRμ(k)\mathsf{DMR}_\mu(\mathbf k) and to the Betti double shuffle group DMRB(k)\mathsf{DMR}^{\mathrm{B}}(\mathbf k) introduced in our earlier work.
