Associators were introduced by Drinfel'd in as a monodromy representation of a KZ equation. Associators can be briefly described as formal series in two non-commutative variables satisfying three quations. These three equations yield a…
It is shown that novel relations between multiple zeta values and single-variable multiple polylogarithms at 1/2 (delta values) can be derived by comparing two distinct, yet a priori equal, series formulae for the Drinfeld associator (from…
Our main aim in this paper is to give a foundation of the theory of $p$-adic multiple zeta values. We introduce (one variable) $p$-adic multiple polylogarithms by Coleman's $p$-adic iterated integration theory. We define $p$-adic multiple…
The values at positive integers of the polyzeta functions are solutions of the polynomial equations arising from Drinfeld's associators, which have numerous applications in quantum algebra. Considered as iterated integrals they become…
We study some Lie algebras defined by solutions to the double shuffle equations with poles and construct families of explicit solutions to these equations in all weights and depths. These provide universal coordinates in which to write down…
In this note we give an introduction to Drinfel'd's associator coming from the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov connections and a self-contained proof of the hexagon and pentagon equations by means of minimal amounts of analysis or differential…
We develop a notion of ellipsitomic associators by means of operad theory. We take this opportunity to review the operadic point-of-view on Drinfeld associators and to provide such an operadic approach for elliptic associators too. We then…
This review concerns the resolution of a special case of Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations ($KZ_3$) using our recent results on combinatorial aspects of zeta functions on several variables and software on noncommutative symbolic…
We show that the shuffle algebras for polylogarithms and regularized MZVs in the sense of Ihara, Kaneko and Zagier are both free commutative nonunitary Rota-Baxter algebras with one generator. We apply these results to show that the full…
Drinfeld defined the Knizhinik--Zamolodchikov (KZ) associator $\Phi_{\rm KZ}$ by considering the regularized holonomy of the KZ connection along the {\em droit chemin} $[0,1]$. The KZ associator is a group-like element of the free…
We develop a higher genus version of Drinfeld associators by means of operad theory. We start by introducing a framed version of rational associators and Grothendieck-Teichm\"uller groups and show that their definition is independent of the…
We construct new invariant polynomial for long virtual knots. It is a generalization of Alexander polynomial. We designate it by $\zeta$ meaning an analogy with $\zeta$-polynomial for virtual links. A degree of $\zeta$-polynomial estimates…
We develop a tighter implementation of basic PL topology, which keeps track of some combinatorial structure beyond PL homeomorphism type. With this technique we clarify some aspects of PL transversality and give combinatorial proofs of a…
We construct a family of Drinfeld associators interpolating between the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov associator, the Alekseev-Torossian associator and the anti-Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov associator. We give explicit integral formul\ae\ for the family…
We prove that for any associator, two specific families of coefficients of the associator can be expressed in terms of coefficients of lower depth. Combining these results to our notions of adjoint $p$-adic multiple zeta values and multiple…
By developing various techniques of mould theory, we introduce $\mathsf{GARI}(\mathscr{F})_{\mathsf{as}+\mathsf{bal}}$, a mould theoretic formulation of Drinfeld's associator set. We give a mould-theoretical generalization of the result…
We solve the regularized Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation and find an explicit expression for the Drinfeld associator. We restrict to the case of the fundamental representation of $gl(N)$. Several tests of the results are presented. It can…
In this paper we present some of the recent progresses in multiple zeta values (MZVs). We review the double shuffle relations for convergent MZVs and summarize generalizations of the sum formula and the decomposition formula of Euler for…
In this work, we begin to uncover the architecture of the general family of zeta functions and multiple zeta values as they appear in the theory of integrable systems and conformal field theory. One of the key steps in this process is to…
Motivated by the graph associahedron KG, a polytope whose face poset is based on connected subgraphs of G, we consider the notion of associativity and tubes on posets. This leads to a new family of simple convex polytopes obtained by…
