Double shuffle relations via the Hodge defect

Abstract

We interpret the convolution constructions of [arXiv:2604.26357] in Hodge-theoretic terms, extending the Hodge defect calculation of [arXiv:2609.19341]. For Hodge--Tate modules on ${\mathbb{C}}^{\ast }$ smooth outside $1$, the defect is the action of an element of the Deligne--Terasoma transport algebra expressed through the Drinfeld associator. For convolutions of iterated Kummer extensions, comparison of mixed Hodge structures produces a beta factor and yields the regularized double shuffle relations.
