Additive polylogarithms and their functional equations

Let ${k\varepsilon]_{2}:=k\varepsilon]/(\varepsilon^{2})}Let ke]₂:=ke]/(e²){k\varepsilon]_{2}:=k\varepsilon]/(\varepsilon^{2})} . The single valued real analytic n-polylogarithm L_n: \mathbbC ? \mathbbR{\mathcal{L}_{n}: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{R}} is fundamental in the study of weight n motivic cohomology over a field k, of characteristic 0. In this paper, we extend the construction in ünver (Algebra Number Theory 3:1–34, 2009) to define additive n-polylogarithms li_n:ke]₂? k{li_{n}:k\varepsilon]_{2}\to k} and prove that they satisfy functional equations analogous to those of L_n{\mathcal{L}_{n}}. Under a mild hypothesis, we show that these functions descend to an analog of the nth Bloch group B_n￠(ke]₂){B_{n}' (k\varepsilon]_{2})} defined by Goncharov (Adv Math 114:197–318, 1995). We hope that these functions will be useful in the study of weight n motivic cohomology over kε]₂.
