Abstract

We study the algebra IQM\mathcal{I}^{QM} of iterated integrals of quasimodular forms for SL2(Z)\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}), which is the smallest extension of the algebra QMQM_{\ast} of quasimodular forms, which is closed under integration. We prove that IQM\mathcal{I}^{QM} is a polynomial algebra in infinitely many variables, given by Lyndon words on certain monomials in Eisenstein series. We also prove an analogous result for the MM_{\ast}-subalgebra IM\mathcal{I}^{M} of IQM\mathcal{I}^{QM} of iterated integrals of modular forms.
