A note on formal periods
Year: 2021
Type: preprint
Abstract: We give an elementary description of the space of formal periods of a mixed motive. This allows for a simplified reformulation of the period conjectures of Grothendieck and Kontsevich-Zagier. Furthermore, we develop a machinery which in principle allows to determine the space of formal periods for an arbitrary mixed motive explicitly.
