We decompose renormalized Feynman rules according to the scale and angle dependence of amplitudes. We use parametric representations such that the resulting amplitudes can be studied in algebraic geometry.
We prove a neat factorization property of Feynman graphs in covariant perturbation theory. The contribution of the graph to the effective action is written as a product of a massless scalar momentum integral that only depends on the basic…
It was observed that hyperlogarithms provide a tool to carry out Feynman integrals. So far, this method has been applied successfully to finite single-scale processes. However, it can be employed in more general situations. We give examples…
It is explained how first-quantized worldline path integrals can be used as an efficient alternative to Feynman diagrams in the calculation of QED amplitudes and effective actions. The examples include the one-loop photon splitting…
Following Feynman's treatment of the non-relativistic polaron problem, similar techniques are used to study relativistic field theories: after integrating out the bosonic degrees of freedom the resulting effective action is formulated in…
We show that sums over graphs such as appear in the theory of Feynman diagrams can be seen as integrals over discrete groupoids. From this point of view, basic combinatorial formulas of the theory of Feynman diagrams can be interpreted as…

Pfaffian diagrams are formulated to represent gluon amplitudes computed from the Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) formula. They may be regarded as a systematic regrouping of Feynman diagrams after internal momenta are expanded and products of vertex…
We develop a formalism to address statistical pattern recognition of graph valued data. Of particular interest is the case of all graphs having the same number of uniquely labeled vertices. When the vertex labels are latent, such graphs are…

The aim of the present article is to give an overview of spectral theory on metric graphs guided by spectral geometry on discrete graphs and manifolds. We present the basic concept of metric graphs and natural Laplacians acting on it and…
We perform a Feynman diagram calculation of the two-loop scattering amplitude for gravitationally interacting massive particles in the classical limit. Conveniently, we are able to sidestep the most taxing diagrams by exploiting the…
Partition- and moment functions for a general (not necessarily Gaussian) functional measure that is perturbed by a Gibbs factor are calculated using generalized Feynman graphs. From the graphical calculus, a new notion of Wick ordering…

We investigate Feynman graphs and their Feynman rules from the viewpoint of graph complexes. We focus on graph homology and on the appearance of cubical complexes when either reducing internal edges or when removing them by putting them on…
The scope of constrained differential renormalization is to provide renormalized expressions for Feynman graphs, preserving at the same time the Ward identities of the theory. It has been shown recently that this can be done consistently at…
