FRANCIS BROWN AND ANDREY LEVIN Abstract. We study the de Rham fundamental group of the configuration space E (n) of n+1 marked points on an elliptic curve E, and define multiple elliptic polylogarithms. These are multivalued functions on E (n) with unipotent monodromy, and are constructed by a general averaging procedure. We show that all iterated integrals on E (n) , and in particular the periods of the unipotent fundamental group of the punctured curve E\{0}, can be expressed in terms of these functions.

1. Introduction 1.1. Motivation. Iterated integrals on the moduli space M0,n of curves of genus 0 with n ordered marked points can be expressed in terms of multiple polylogarithms. These are defined for n1 , . . . , nr ∈ N by X xk11 . . . xkr r (1.1) Lin1 ,...,nr (x1 , . . . , xr ) = where |xi | < 1 , k1n1 . . . krnr 0
