Abstract

We present a new method to construct integration-by-part (IBP) identities from the viewpoint of differential geometry. Vectors for generating IBP identities are reformulated as differential forms, via Poincar\'{e} duality. Using the tools of differential geometry and commutative algebra, we can efficiently find differential forms which generate on-shell IBP relation without doubled propagator. Various D=4D=4 two-loop examples are presented.
