Abstract

Brown showed that the affine ring of the motivic path torsor π1mot(P1\{0,1,},10,11)\pi_1^{\text{mot}}(\mathbb{P}^1 \backslash \left\{0,1,\infty\right\}, \vec{1}_0, -\vec{1}_1), whose periods are multiple zeta values, generates the Tannakian category MT(Z)\mathsf{MT}(\mathbb{Z}) of mixed Tate motives over Z\mathbb{Z}. Brown also introduced multiple modular values, which are periods of the relative completion of the fundamental group of the moduli stack M1,1\mathcal{M}_{1,1} of elliptic curves. We prove that all motivic multiple zeta values may be expressed as Q[2πi]\mathbb{Q}[2 \pi i]-linear combinations of motivic iterated Eisenstein integrals along elements of π1(M1,1)SL2(Z)\pi_1 (\mathcal{M}_{1,1}) \cong SL_2(\mathbb{Z}), which are examples of motivic multiple modular values. This provides a new modular generator for MT(Z)\mathsf{MT}(\mathbb{Z}). We also explain how the coefficients in this linear combination may be partially determined using the motivic coaction.
