Functional equations for higher logarithms (2003)
Journal Article
Gangl, H. (2003). Functional equations for higher logarithms. Selecta Mathematica (New Series), 9(3), 361 - 377. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00029-003-0312-z

Following earlier work by Abel and others, Kummer gave in 1840 functional equations for the polylogarithm function Li_m(z) up to m = 5, but no example for larger m was known until recently. We give the first genuine 2-variable functional equation for... Read More about Functional equations for higher logarithms.

On poly(ana)logs I (2002)
Journal Article

We investigate a connection between the differential of polylogarithms (as considered by Cathelineau) and a finite variant of them. This allows to answer a question raised by Kontsevich concerning the construction of functional equations for the fini... Read More about On poly(ana)logs I.
