Summary
Abstract
This is a concise exposition of recent developments around the study of associators. It is based on the author's talk at the Mathematische Arbeitstagung in Bonn, June 2011 (cf. [F11b]) and at the Automorphic Forms and Galois Representations Symposium in Durham, July 2011. The first section is a review of Drinfeld's definition [Dr] of associators and the results [F10, F11a] concerning the definition. The second section explains the four pro-unipotent algebraic groups related to associators; the motivic Galois group, the Grothendieck-Teichmüller group, the double shuffle group and the Kashiwara-Vergne group. Relationships, actually inclusions, between them are also discussed.
1. Associators
We recall the definition of associators [Dr] and explain our main results in [F10, F11a] concerning the defining equations of associators.
The notion of associators was introduced by Drinfeld in [Dr]. They describe monodromies of the KZ (Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov) equations. They are essential for the construction of quasi-triangular quasi-Hopf quantized universal enveloping algebras ([Dr]), for the quantization of Lie-bialgebras (Etingof–Kazhdan quantization [EtK]), for the proof of formality of chain operad of little discs by Tamarkin [Ta] (see also Ševera and Willwacher [SW]) and also for the combinatorial reconstruction of the universal Vassiliev knot invariant (the Kontsevich invariant [Kon, Ba95]) by Bar-Natan [Ba97], Cartier [C], Kassel and Turaev [KssT], Le and Murakami [LM96a] and Piunikhin [P].
