The absolute Galois group

whih was studied by Ihara (see [10℄), Deligne (see [3℄), Grothendiek (see
[8℄) and other persons. The representation
ϕ

We embed the pro-
l
ompletion ofπ 1 ( P 1 Q ¯ \ { 0, 1, ∞} ; 01) → into the Q l-algebra
of non-ommutative formal power series
Q l {{ X, Y }}
in two non-ommuting variablesX
andY
sendingx
ontoe X and y
onto e Y (see[18℄). Hene we get
aGalois representation
ϕ l : G Q −→ Aut( Q l {{ X, Y }} ).
Let
Λ p (X, Y )(σ) ∈ Q l {{ X, Y }}
be the image off p (σ)
inQ l {{ X, Y }} .
Therepresentation
ϕ l isompletely desribed bythe oyle

The element
f p (σ)
satises theZ /2, Z /3

l
ompletion ofπ 1 ( P 1 Q ¯ \ { 0, 1, ∞} ; 01) → into
Q l {{ X, Y }}
we get some kind of Z /2
and Z /3
-yle relations satised by the
element

(see setion3 ofthis note).The oyles
f p and Λ p are respetively pro-nite and l

Λ p (X, Y )(σ)
satisfy trivially shue relations of type I beause of the verydenition of the embedding of the pro-

Thefollowingonditions are equivalent:

Thepath

,henef γ − 1 (σ) ∈ π 1 (V K ¯ ; z).
Lemma 2.4. (see [18℄Lemma 1.0.6.)
We have
(γ − 1 · f γ − 1 (σ) · γ) · f γ (σ) = 1.
The elements
x ′ i := γ · x i · γ − 1 for i = 1, . . . , n
are geometrial generators of
π 1 (V K ¯ ; z).
Let
k ′ : π 1 (V K ¯ ; z) l −→ Q l {{X}}
beaontinousmultipliativeembeddinggivenby
k ′ (x ′ i ) = e X i fori = 1, . . . , n.
Let
Λ γ − 1 (σ) := k ′ (f γ − 1 (σ)).
Lemma 2.5. We have
Λ γ −1 (σ) · Λ γ (σ) = 1.
Proof. Observethat
k(x i ) = k ′ (x ′ i )
fori = 1, . . . , n.
Henek(γ − 1 · f γ − 1 (σ) · γ) = k ′ (f γ − 1 (σ)).
Therefore itfollows fromLemma 2.4thatΛ γ − 1 (σ) · Λ γ (σ) = 1.
Let
t : Q l {{X}} → Q l {{X}}
be a ontinous linearmapping given byt(X i 1 · . . . · X i m ) = X i m · . . . · X i 1
onelements of
W ( X ).
Thent
isan anti-automorphism ofQ l-algebras,i.e.
t(a · b) = t(b) · t(a).
Proposition 2.6. Let
w ∈ W ( X ).
Then we havew ∗ (Λ γ −1 (σ)) = ( − 1) | w | (t(w)) ∗ (Λ γ (σ)).
Proof. ItfollowsfromLemma2.5that
Λ γ −1 (σ) = (Λ γ (σ)) − 1 .
Theoeientsofthe powerseries
Λ γ (σ)
satisfyshuerelations oftype IbyProposition 2.3.Heneitfollows from[17℄Theorem 2.6that
w ∗ (Λ γ − 1 (σ)) = w ∗ (Λ γ (σ) − 1 ) = ( − 1) | w | (t(w)) ∗ (Λ γ (σ)).
Remark 2.7. If

Hene we getg ∗ (f p ) = f g(p) = f p − 1 = p · f − p 1 · p − 1,i.e. p − 1 · (g ∗ (f p )) · p = f − p 1 .
The lastequalityimplies
3.2. f p (y, x) = f p (x, y) − 1 .
(This is of ourse the famous

Let

be a ontinous multipliative embedding given byk(x) = e X andk(y) = e Y .
Then
Λ p (X, Y )(σ) := k(f p (x, y)(σ)).
Itfollows from3.2that

Letus set

The right hand sides of 3.4 and 3.5 are equal by 3.1. Hene applying

. We shall show below that it determines a torsion lass inH 1 (G Q ; Z l (2k))
and we shallalulate its order(see also[3℄).We start by realling the arithmeti formula for

Let ussetH n := ker(ϕ n : π 1 (V Q ¯ ; 01) → l → Z /l n ).

Theorem 3.2. i) We have
ℓ 2k (1) = 2 · b (2k) 2k · (χ 2k − 1)
inZ 1 (G Q ; Z l (2k))
;ii) Let us write
b 2k
2 · (2k) = a b
, wherea, b ∈ Z
are relatively prime. The lass ofthe oyle
ℓ 2k (1)
is a torsionelement ofH 1 (G Q ; Z l (2k))
of orderl v l (b) .
iii) The lass of the oyle
ℓ 2k (1)
is a torsion element of maximal order inH 1 (G Q ; Z l (2k)).
Proof. We have already observed that
ℓ 2k (1)
isa funtion fromG Q ¯ to Z l .
It
followsimmediatelyfromProposition3.1and theequalities3.14and3.15that
ℓ 2k (1) = 2·2k b 2k (χ 2k − 1).
Heneℓ 2k (1)
is inZ 1 (G Q ; Z l (2k))
. The point ii) is aonsequeneimmediate ofthe point i).
Let us suppose that
l
is an odd prime. The ylotomi haraterχ : G Q →
Z ∗ l = (1 + l Z l ) × µ l − 1 is surjetive. Therefore there are torsion elements in
H 1 (G Q ; Z l (2k))
ifand only if2k ≡ 0
mod(l − 1)
. Let us suppose that2k = (l − 1) · l m − 1 · q
with(q, l) = 1.
Then it follows immediately thatχ 2k − 1
isdivisibleby
l m butnot byl m+1 .

Corollary 3.3. Let

mod(l − 1).
Thenv l ( 2 b · 2k 2k ) ≥ 0.
Proof. If

Let
s : Q l {{ X, Y }} → Q l {{ X, Y }}
bean isomorphism ofQ l-algebras givenby
s(X) = Y
ands(Y ) = X.
We reall from setion 1 thatt : Q l {{ X, Y }} → Q l {{ X, Y }}
is ananti-isomorphism. Letus setτ := s ◦ t.

Proposition 3.4. Let
w ∈ W (X, Y ).
We havew ∗ (Λ p (X, Y )(σ)) = ( − 1) |w| (τ (w)) ∗ (Λ p (X, Y )(σ)).
Proof. It followsfrom Proposition2.6 andLemma 2.5that
w ∗ (Λ p (X, Y )(σ)) = ( − 1) | w | (t(w)) ∗ ((Λ p (X, Y )(σ)) − 1 ).
Itfollows from
Z /2
-yle relation that( − 1) | w | (t(w)) ∗ ((Λ p (X, Y )(σ)) − 1 ) = ( − 1) | w | (t(w)) ∗ (Λ p (Y, X)(σ)).
Observethatforany
u ∈ W (X, Y )
wehaveu ∗ (Λ p (Y, X)(σ)) = s(u) ∗ (Λ p (X, Y )(σ).
Henewe get
w ∗ (Λ p (X, Y )(σ)) = ( − 1) | w | (τ (w)) ∗ (Λ p (X, Y )(σ)).

The
Z 5-yle relation an also be written in this form but we do not state
it here in order not to make this paper too heavy. In the next setion we
formulate shuerelations of typeIIandIIIfor oeients of
Λ p (X, Y ).
5. Shue relations of type II and III (multi zeta type and
regularized multi zeta type)
We start thissetion byrealling some notations from[16℄.
Let
Y := { y 1 , y 2 , . . . , y n , . . . }
be asetof non-ommuting variables. We setdegy i := i.

y 0 = 1
).Let
W (X, Y ) X ˆ beasubset ofW (X, Y )

andallmonomials whose
last term is
Y
. LetQ{{ X, Y }} X ˆ be a subalgebra of Q{{ X, Y }}
generated
topologially bythe set
W (X, Y ) X ˆ.
We identify the
Q
-algebraQ << Y >>
with the subalgebraQ{{ X, Y }} X ˆ of
Q{{ X, Y }}
sendingy i → X i−1 Y
for
i = 1, 2, . . .
. Henewe geta oprodut∆ ∗ : Q{{ X, Y }} X ˆ → Q{{ X, Y }} X ˆ ⊗Q{{ ˆ X, Y }} X ˆ ,
whih indues a ommutative produt
⋆ : ( Q{{ X, Y }} X ˆ ) ⋄ ⊗ ( Q{{ X, Y }} X ˆ ) ⋄ −→ ( Q{{ X, Y }} X ˆ ) ⋄ .
The
Q
-vetor spae( Q{{ X, Y }} X ˆ ) ⋄ equipped with the produt ⋆
we de-
note by
( Q{{ X, Y }} X ˆ ) ⋄ ⋆. If we tensored by Q l or by C
we obtain algebras
( Q l {{ X, Y }} X ˆ ) ⋄ and ( C{{ X, Y }} X ˆ ) ⋄ ⋆ .
C
we obtain algebras( Q l {{ X, Y }} X ˆ ) ⋄ and ( C{{ X, Y }} X ˆ ) ⋄ ⋆ .
Conjeture 5.1. (assoiated graded Liealgebraversionofshuerelations
oftype IIand III.)Let
σ ∈ G n ( Q ).
Thenfor anyw, w 1 ∈ W (X, Y ) X ˆ suh that

( − 1) deg Y (u) (w ∗ ⋆ w ∗ 1 )(u) · u ∗ (Λ p (X, Y )(σ)) = 0 mod I n+1 .
We point out that the shue relations dedued from produts of multi zeta
funtionsarealso studied ingreater generality in[7℄.
