A stabilizer interpretation of double shuffle Lie algebras

Abstract: According to Racinet's work, the scheme of double shuffle and regularization relations between cyclotomic analogues of multiple zeta values has the structure of a torsor over a pro-unipotent $\mathbb Q$-algebraic group $\sf{DMR}_0$, which is an algebraic subgroup of a pro-unipotent $\mathbb Q$-algebraic group of outer automorphisms of a free Lie algebra. We show that the harmonic (stuffle) coproduct of double shuffle theory may be viewed as an element of a module over the above group, and that $\sf{DMR}_0$ identifies with the stabilizer of this element. We identify the tangent space at origin of $\sf{DMR}_0$ with the stabilizer Lie algebra of the harmonic coproduct, thereby obtaining an alternative proof of Racinet's result stating that this space is a Lie algebra (the double shuffle Lie algebra).
