Abstract | Associators were introduced by Drinfel’d in [Dri91] as a
monodromy representation of a Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation. Associators
can be briefly described as formal series in two non-commutative
variables satisfying three equations. These three equations yield a
large number of algebraic relations between the coefficients of the series,
a situation which is particularly interesting in the case of the original
Drinfel’d associator, whose coefficients are multiple zetas values. In
the first part of this paper, we work out these algebraic relations among
multiple zeta values by direct use of the defining relations of associators.
While well-known for the first two relations, the algebraic relations we
obtain for the third (pentagonal) relation, which are algorithmically explicit
although we do not have a closed formula, do not seem to have
been previously written down. The second part of the paper shows
that if one has an explicit basis for the bar-construction of the moduli
space M0,5 of genus zero Riemann surfaces with 5 marked points
at one’s disposal, then the task of writing down the algebraic relations
corresponding to the pentagon relation becomes significantly easier and
more economical compared to the direct calculation above. We discuss
the explicit basis described by Brown and Gangl, which is dual to the
basis of the enveloping algebra of the braids Lie algebra UB5.
In order to write down the relation between multiple zeta values, we
then remark that it is enough to write down the relations associated
to elements that generate the bar construction as an algebra. This
corresponds to looking at the bar construction modulo shuffle, which
is dual to the Lie algebra of 5-strand braids. We write down, in the
appendix, the associated algebraic relations between multiple zeta values
in weights 2 and 3.
