Abstract

In \cite{cartier2}, Pierre Cartier conjectured that for any non commutative formal power series Φ\Phi on X={x0,x1}X=\{x_0,x_1\} with coefficients in a \Q\Q-extension, AA, subjected to some suitable conditions, there exists an unique algebra homomorphism φ\varphi from the \Q\Q-algebra generated by the convergent polyz\^etas to AA such that Φ\Phi is computed from ΦKZ\Phi_{KZ} Drinfel'd associator by applying φ\varphi to each coefficient. We prove φ\varphi exists and it is a free Lie exponential over XX. Moreover, we give a complete description of the kernel of polyz\^eta and draw some consequences about a structure of the algebra of convergent polyz\^etas and about the arithmetical nature of the Euler constant.
