Mixed Tate motives over $\Z$

Abstract

We prove that the category of mixed Tate motives over Z\Z is spanned by the motivic fundamental group of \Pro1\Pro^1 minus three points. We prove a conjecture by M. Hoffman which states that every multiple zeta value is a \Q\Q-linear combination of ζ(n1,...,nr)\zeta(n_1,..., n_r) where ni{2,3}n_i\in \{2,3\}.
