algebra / Grothendieck-Teichmuller theory; multiple zeta values

The Deligne-Drinfeld conjecture: the Grothendieck-Teichmuller Lie algebra is free on odd generators

Theorem 1.1: there are homogeneous σ2k+1∈W2k+1\sigma_{2k+1}\in W_{2k+1} such that e2k+1↦σ2k+1e_{2k+1}\mapsto\sigma_{2k+1} is a graded Lie isomorphism LieQ⟨e3,e5,… ⟩≅(W,{ ,})\mathrm{Lie}_{\mathbb Q}\langle e_3,e_5,\dots\rangle\cong(W,\{\,,\}), with WW closed under the Ihara bracket, and the induced map on weight completions is a continuous isomorphism. Via Willwacher's theorem this gives H0(GC2)≅Lie⟨e3,e5,… ⟩H^0(\mathrm{GC}_2)\cong\mathrm{Lie}\langle e_3,e_5,\dots\rangle. With Brown's theorem it identifies grt1\mathfrak{grt}_1 with the motivic Lie algebra. Generators are not canonical, and no other graph-complex degrees are computed.
