This paper draws connections between the double shuffle equations and structure of associators; Hain and Matsumoto’s universal mixed elliptic motives; and the Rankin–Selberg method for modular forms for $\text{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z})$ . We write down explicit formulae for zeta elements $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}_{2n-1}$ (generators of the Tannaka Lie algebra of the category of mixed Tate motives over $\mathbb{Z}$ ) in depths up to four, give applications to the Broadhurst–Kreimer conjecture, and solve the double shuffle equations for multiple zeta values in depths two and three.
