Abstract

The Chen series map giving the universal monodromy representation of P1\{0,1,}\mathbb{P}^1\backslash\{0,1,\infty\} is extended to an injective 1-cocycle of PSL(2,Z)PSL(2, \mathbb{Z}) into power series with complex coefficients in two non-commuting variables, twisted by an action of S3.S_3. The definition of the 1-cocycle is effected by parallel transport of flat sections of the bundle, also with an S3S_3 twisting, along paths in P1\{0,1,}\mathbb{P}^1\backslash\{0,1,\infty\} which are explicitly associated to elements of PSL(2,Z)PSL(2, \mathbb{Z}). The resulting action of the modular group on the polylogarithm generating function is shown to yield a family of proofs of the analytic continuation and functional equation of the Riemann zeta function.
