For an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0, we give a cycle-theoretic description of the additive 4-term motivic exact sequence associated to the additive dilogarithm of J.-L. Cathelineau, that is the derivative of the…
We consider an arbitrary representation of the additive group over a field of characteristic zero and give an explicit description of a finite separating set in the corresponding ring of invariants.
We define an extended Bloch group and show it is isomorphic to $H_3(PSL(2,C)^\delta;Z)$. Using the Rogers dilogarithm function this leads to an exact simplicial formula for the universal Cheeger-Simons class on this homology group. It also…
Our aim of this paper is to propose a method of analytic continuation of Carlitz multiple (star) polylogarithms to the whole space by using Artin-Schreier equation and present a treatment of their branches by introducing the notion of…
In this paper we investigate algebraic function fields in positive characteristic mainly obtained as double Artin-Schreier extensions of rational function fields with a plane model. The goal is to extend to such extensions large…
We introduce a refinement of the Bloch-Wigner complex of a field F. This is a complex of modules over the multiplicative group of the field. Instead of computing K_2 and indecomposable K_3 - as the classical Bloch-Wigner complex does - it…
We generalize the definition of the polylogarithm classes to the case of commutative group schemes, both in the sheaf theoretic and the motivic setting. This generalizes and simplifies the existing cases.
Our investigation focuses on an additive analogue of the Bloch-Gabber-Kato theorem which establishes a relation between the Milnor $K$-group of a field of positive characteristic and a Galois cohomology group of the field. Extending the…
We define an extended Bloch group and show it is naturally isomorphic to H_3(PSL(2,C)^\delta ;Z). Using the Rogers dilogarithm function this leads to an exact simplicial formula for the universal Cheeger-Chern-Simons class on this homology…
We define a Hopf algebra of polylogarithms of an arbitrary field, which is a candidate for a conjectural Hopf algebra of framed mixed Tate motives. Our definition is elementary and mimics Goncharov's construction of higher Bloch groups. We…
We give a few properties equivalent to the Bloch-Kato conjecture (now the norm residue isomorphism theorem).
Class field theory furnishes an intrinsic description of the abelian extensions of a number field that is in many cases not of an immediate algorithmic nature. We outline the algorithms available for the explicit computation of such…
We construct the (enhanced Rogers) dilogarithm function from the spin Chern-Simons invariant of C*-connections. This leads to geometric proofs of basic dilogarithm identities and a geometric context for other properties, such as the…
In this paper we prove that any Artin--Schreier extension of a congruence rational function field is contained in the composite of a cyclotomic function field and a constant field extension that are explicitly prescribed.
We show that the automorphism group of Drinfeld's half-space over a finite field is the projective linear group of the underlying vector space. The proof of this result uses analytic geometry in the sense of Berkovich over the finite field…
We introduce a new invariant of fields that refines their real spectrum and is related to their absolute Galois group: the Artin-Schreier quandle. For formally real number fields, it is freely generated in its variety by a Cantor space of…
This paper is an introduction to classical polylogarithms and is an expanded version of a talk given by the author at the Motives conference. Topics covered include, monodromy; the polylogarithm local systems; Bloch's constructions of…
Borel's construction of the regulator gives an injective map from the algebraic $K$-groups of a number field to its Deligne-Beilinson cohomology groups. This has many interesting arithmetic and geometric consequences. The formula for the…
Towards the study of the representation theory of any dihedral Artin group B, we build rational morphisms from B to the group of invertible elements of the associated infinitesimal braids algebra. For this we build analogues of Drinfeld…
Let $G$ be a subgroup of ${\rm PGL}_2({\mathbb F}_q)$, where $q$ is any prime power, and let $Q \in {\mathbb F}_q[x]$ such that ${\mathbb F}_q(x)/{\mathbb F}_q(Q(x))$ is a Galois extension with group $G$. By explicitly computing the Artin…
