We study the dual graph polynomials and the case when a Feynman graph has no triangles but has a 4-face. This leads to the proof of the duality-admissibility of all graphs up to 18 loops. As a consequence, the $c_2$ invariant is the same…
A Feynman period is a particular residue of a scalar Feynman integral which is both physically and number theoretically interesting. Two ways in which the graph theory of the underlying Feynman graph can illuminate the Feynman period are…

For every regular graph, we define a sequence of integers, using the recursion of the Martin polynomial. This sequence counts spanning tree partitions and constitutes the diagonal coefficients of powers of the Kirchhoff polynomial. We prove…

The obstruction for application of effective techniques like denominator reduction for the computation of the $c_2$ invariant of Feynman graphs in general is the absence of a 3-valent vertex for the initial steps. In this paper such a…

The c_2 invariant, defined by Schnetz in 2011, is an arithmetic graph invariant created towards a better understanding of Feynman integrals. This paper looks at some graph families of interest, with a focus on decompleted toroidal grids.…
The $c_2$ invariant is an arithmetic graph invariant related to quantum field theory. We give a relation modulo $p$ between the $c_2$ invariant at $p$ and the $c_2$ invariant at $p^s$ by proving a relation modulo $p$ between certain…
Feynman diagrams in $\phi^4$ theory have as their underlying structure 4-regular graphs. In particular, any 4-point $\phi^4$ graph can be uniquely derived from a 4-regular graph by deleting a vertex. The Feynman period is a simplified…
A 4-point Feynman diagram in scalar $\phi^4$ theory is represented by a graph $G$ which is obtained from a connected 4-regular graph by deleting a vertex. The associated Feynman integral gives a quantity called the period of $G$ which is…
We show by example that there is a Cayley graph, having two invariant random subgraphs X and Y, such that there exists a monotone coupling between them in the sense that $X\subset Y$, although no such coupling can be invariant. Here,…
We study differential forms on an algebraic compactification of a moduli space of metric graphs. Canonical examples of such forms are obtained by pulling back invariant differentials along a tropical Torelli map. The invariant differential…
The most general lagrangian describing spin 2 particles in flat spacetime and containing operators up to (mass) dimension 6 is carefully analyzed, determining the precise conditions for it to be invariant under linearized (transverse)…
It is well known that in a generally covariant gravitational theory the choice of spacetime scalars as coordinates yields phase-space observables (or "invariants"). However their relation to the symmetry group of diffeomorphism…
Invariants allow to classify images up to the action of a group of transformations. In this paper we introduce notions of the algebras of simultaneous polynomial and rational 2D moment invariants and prove that they are isomorphic to the…
We study the related questions: (i) when Feynman amplitudes in massless $\phi^4$ theory evaluate to multiple zeta values, and (ii) when their underlying motives are mixed Tate. More generally, by considering configurations of singular…
We prove that any non-amenable Cayley graph admits a factor of IID perfect matching. We also show that any connected d-regular vertex tran- sitive graph admits a perfect matching. The two results together imply that every Cayley graph…
