In this talk we discuss a class of Feynman integrals, which can be expressed to all orders in the dimensional regularisation parameter as iterated integrals of modular forms. We review the mathematical prerequisites related to elliptic…
In these lectures we discuss some of the mathematical structures that appear when computing multi-loop Feynman integrals. We focus on a specific class of special functions, the so-called multiple polylogarithms, and discuss introduce their…
The purpose of this paper is to show that, under certain combinatorial conditions on the graph, parametric Feynman integrals can be realized as periods on the complement of the determinant hypersurface in an affine space depending on the…
This article introduces moduli spaces of coloured graphs on which Feynman amplitudes can be viewed as 'discrete' volume densities. The basic idea behind this construction is that these moduli spaces decompose into disjoint unions of open…
The classical Dodgson identity can be interpreted as a quadratic identity of spanning forest polynomials, where the spanning forests used in each polynomial are defined by how three marked vertices are divided among the component trees. We…
The low energy expansion of Type II superstring amplitudes at genus one is organized in terms of modular graph functions associated with Feynman graphs of a conformal scalar field on the torus. In earlier work, surprising identities between…
This paper describes how many known graph polynomials arise from the coefficients of chromatic symmetric function expansions in different bases, and studies a new polynomial arising by expanding over a basis given by chromatic symmetric…
Feynman integrals with generic propagator powers in one and two spacetime dimensions are investigated from various perspectives. In particular, we argue that the class of track integrals at any loop order is fixed by the recently found…
An impressive effort is being placed in order to develop new strategies that allow an efficient computation of multi-loop multi-leg Feynman integrals and scattering amplitudes, with a particular emphasis on removing spurious singularities…
We generalize two main theorems of matching polynomials of undirected simple graphs, namely, real-rootedness and the Heilmann-Lieb root bound. Viewing the matching polynomial of a graph $G$ as the independence polynomial of the line graph…
Scattering amplitudes at loop level can be expressed in terms of Feynman integrals. The latter satisfy partial differential equations in the kinematical variables. We argue that a good choice of basis for (multi-)loop integrals can lead to…
Graphs which generalize the simple or affine Dynkin diagrams are introduced. Each diagram defines a bilinear form on a root system and thus a reflection group. We present some properties of these groups and of their natural "Coxeter…
A recursive algebraic method which allows to obtain the Feynman or Schwinger parametric representation of a generic L-loops and (E+1) external lines diagram, in a scalar $\phi ^{3}\oplus \phi ^{4}$ theory, is presented. The representation…
We develop several combinatorial notions about laminations, some with clear implications for parameter space. We introduce a simplified class of laminations called finite dynamical laminations (FDL). In order to count FDL, we introduce…
We will present some (formal) arguments that any Feynman diagram can be understood as a particular case of a Horn-type multivariable hypergeometric function. The advantages and disadvantages of this type of approach to the evaluation of…
It is well-known that the symmetry group of a Feynman diagram can give important information on possible strategies for its evaluation, and the mathematical objects that will be involved. Motivated by ongoing work on multi-loop multi-photon…
In this paper we investigate a spectra of the Laplacian matrix of cyclic groups using the properties of their characteristic polynomials. We have proved several assertions about the relationship between the spectra of different groups.
To any graph with external half-edges and internal masses, we associate canonical integrals which depend non-trivially on particle masses and momenta, and are always finite. They are generalised Feynman integrals which satisfy graphical…
We present a novel approach for loop integral reduction in the Feynman parametrization using intersection theory and relative cohomology. In this framework, Feynman integrals correspond to boundary-supported differential forms in the…
For polynomials and rational maps of fixed degree over a finite field, we bound both the average number of connected components of their functional graphs as well as the average number of periodic points of their associated dynamical…
