Polylogarithmic functions with prescribed branching locus and linear relations between them

Abstract

We consider the problem of finding the set of classical polylogarithmic functions ${\text{Li}}_n$ with branching locus determined by the solution of $p_1\cdot p_2\cdot \dots \cdot p_n=0$, where $p_1,\dots ,p_n$ are irreducible polynomials of several variables. We present an algorithm of constructing a complete set of possible arguments of ${\text{Li}}_n$ functions. The corresponding Mathematica code is included as ancillary file. Using this algorithm and the symbol map, we provide some examples of polylogarithmic identities.
