Khalef Yaddaden

I am a temporary research and teaching assistant at University of Caen-Normandie (France). I teach within the UFR des Sciences, and I am a member of the GRAAL research team at the Laboratoire de Mathématiques Nicolas Oresme.

Before that I was a JSPS Postdoctoral Research fellow in the Graduate School of Mathematics of Nagoya University (Japan) under Professor Hidekazu Furusho.

I did my Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Strasbourg (France) under the supervision of Professor Benjamin Enriquez.

I am interested in various aspects of multiple zeta values, their cyclotomic analogues the multiple polylogarithm values at roots of unity and their connections to associators and Grothendieck-Teïchmuller theory.

On a conjecture of Zhao related to standard relations among cyclotomic multiple zeta values

We provide a proof of a conjecture by Zhao concerning the structure of certain relations among cyclotomic multiple zeta values in weight two. We formulate this conjecture in a broader algebraic setting in which we give a natural equivalence between two schemes attached to a finite abelian group G. In particular, when G is the group of roots of unity, these schemes describe the standard relations among cyclotomic multiple zeta values.

We prove a cyclotomic generalization of Enriquez and Furusho’s result stating that the scheme of double shuffle and regularization relations between multiple zeta values arising from Racinet’s formalism is a torsor of isomorphisms between “Betti” and “de Rham” objects. After reviewing the “de Rham” objects arising from a crossed product interpretation of Racinet’s formalism, we construct the “Betti” objects based on an orbifold fundamental group. We then show that the scheme of double shuffle and regularization relations is a subtorsor of stabilizer schemes relating “Betti” and “de Rham” coproducts.
