Summary
The main goal of this paper is to study properties of the iterated integrals of modular forms in the upper half-plane, possibly multiplied by z s−1, along geodesics connecting two cusps. This setting generalizes simultaneously the theory of modular symbols and that of multiple zeta values.
To Volodya Drinfeld, cordially and friendly.
