Decomposition of elliptic multiple zeta values and iterated Eisenstein integrals

Abstract

We describe a decomposition algorithm for elliptic multiple zeta values, which amounts to the construction of an injective map $\psi$ from the algebra of elliptic multiple zeta values to a space of iterated Eisenstein integrals. We give many examples of this decomposition, and conclude with a short discussion about the image of $\psi$. It turns out that the failure of surjectivity of $\psi$ is in some sense governed by period polynomials of modular forms.
