Abstract
For any positive integer let be the group of the th roots of unity. In this note we shall study the -linear relations among values of multiple polylogarithms evaluated at . We show that the standard relations considered by Racinet do not provide all the possible relations in the following cases: (i) level N=4, weight or 4, and (ii) , , and is a power of 2 or 3, or has at least two prime factors. We further find some (presumably all) of the missing relations in (i) by using the octahedral symmetry of . We also prove some other results when or ( prime ) by using the motivic fundamental group of .
