The second part of a set of notes based on lectures given at the IHES in 2015 on Feynman amplitudes and motivic periods.
These are notes of lectures given at the CMI conference in August, 2014 at ICMAT in Madrid. The focus is on some mathematical questions associated to Feynman amplitudes, including Hodge structures, relations with string theory, and…
Following the work of Brown, we can canonically associate a family of motivic periods -- called the motivic Feynman amplitude -- to any convergent Feynman integral, viewed as a function of the kinematic variables. The motivic Galois theory…
This article gives a short step-by-step introduction to the representation of parametric Feynman integrals in scalar perturbative quantum field theory as periods of motives. The application of motivic Galois theory to the algebro-geometric…
The role of hyperlogarithms and multiple zeta values (and their generalizations) in Feynman amplitudes is being gradually recognized since the mid 1990's. The present lecture provides a concise introduction to a fast developing subject that…
Feynman amplitudes in perturbation theory form the basis for most predictions in particle collider experiments. The mathematical quantities which occur as amplitudes include values of the Riemann zeta function and relate to fundamental…
In the first part of this paper we study the coaction dual to the action of the cosmic Galois group on the motivic lift of the sunrise Feynman integral with generic masses and momenta, and we express its conjugates in terms of motivic lifts…
We describe differential forms representing Feynman amplitudes in configuration spaces of Feynman graphs, and regularization and evaluation techniques, for suitable chains of integration, that give rise to periods of mixed Tate motives.
We compute the dimension of the motivic Galois group of a 1-motive M defined over the field of complex numbers, expressing it explicitly in terms of the rank of the multiplicative group generated by the points defining M. As an application,…
We develop a motivic framework for Feynman integrals of one-loop graphs in momentum space. Its advantage compared to the already existing framework in Feynman representation is that it naturally includes graphs with cuts. To each such…
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…
We use mixed Hodge structures to investigate Feynman amplitudes as functions of external momenta and masses.
We study differential equations for Feynman amplitudes and we show that the corresponding D-module is isomorphic to a GKZ D-modules. We show that the sheaf of solutions to the D-module is isomorphic to a certain relative homology and the…
These are lecture notes of the course in infinity categories given in the fall 2016 at Weizmann Institute.
These lecture notes provide a self-contained introduction to Euler integrals, which are frequently encountered in applications. In particle physics, they arise as Feynman integrals or string amplitudes. Our four selected topics demonstrate…
Starting from the complete Mellin representation of Feynman amplitudes for noncommutative vulcanized scalar quantum field theory, introduced in a previous publication, we generalize to this theory the study of asymptotic behaviours under…
We formulate the problem of renormalization of Feynman integrals and its relation to periods of motives in configuration space instead of momentum space. The algebro-geometric setting is provided by the wonderful compactifications of…
It is by now well established that, by means of the integration by part identities, all the integrals occurring in the evaluation of a Feynman graph of given topology can be expressed in terms of a few independent master integrals. It is…
In these lectures I will give an introduction to Feynman integrals. In the first part of the course I review the basics of the perturbative expansion in quantum field theories. In the second part of the course I will discuss more advanced…
This is an introductory set of lecture notes on quantum cosmology, given in 1995 to an audience with interests ranging from astronomy to particle physics. Topics covered: 1. Introduction: 1.1 Quantum cosmology and quantum gravity; 1.2 A…
