Abstract

Chow polylogarithms are some special functions arising in explicit description of the Beilinson regulator map. The most interesting functional equation for this function reflects its vanishing on the boundary in the Bloch's cycle complex. We show that this functional equation formally follows from more simple ones, namely skew-symmetry, functoriality and multiplicativity. To prove this, we study some analogue of Bloch's cycle complex and establish for this complex an analogue Beilinson-Soule vanishing conjecture. A. Goncharov defined a group of functional equations for classical polylogarithms. We show that any such functional equation formally follows from functional equations for Chow polylogarithms stated above.
