Abstract

Broadhurst conjectured that the Feynman integral associated to the polynomial corresponding to t=1t=1 in the one-parameter family (1+x1+x2+x3)(1+x11+x21+x31)t(1+x_1+x_2+x_3)(1+x_1^{-1}+x_2^{-1}+x_3^{-1})-t is expressible in terms of L(f,2),L(f,2), where ff is a cusp form of weight 33 and level 1515. Bloch, Kerr and Vanhove have recently proved that the conjecture holds up to a rational factor. In this paper, we prove that Broadhurst's conjecture is true. Similar identities involving Feynman integrals associated to other polynomials in the same family are also established.
