This survey article is the outgrowth of two talks given at the Journ\'ees X-UPS "P\'eriodes et transcendance" at \'Ecole polytechnique. Periods are complex numbers whose real and imaginary parts can be written as integrals of rational…
Periods are numbers represented as integrals of rational functions over algebraic domains. A survey of their elementary properties is provided. Examples of periods includes Feynman Integrals from Quantum Physics and Multiple Zeta Values…
It is known that the algebraic \deRham cohomology group $\hDR{i}(X_0/\Q)$ of a nonsingular variety $X_0/\Q$ has the same rank as the rational singular cohomology group $\h^i\sing(\Xh;\Q)$ of the complex manifold $\Xh$ associated to the base…
There is a notion of $p$-adic period coming from the crystalline Frobenius automorphism of the de Rham cohomology of an algebraic variety. In this paper, we consider sequences of $p$-adic periods, one for each prime. We study the sequences…
The study of Feynman integrals through the lens of intersection theory offers a unifying framework for their analysis, capturing both the linear and quadratic relations that arise among integrals. In doing so, it provides a powerful method…
This is an introduction to $p$-adic geometry and $p$-adic analysis focusing on the theme of $p$-adic period mappings. We follow as closely as possible the development of the classical theory of complex period mappings, blending differential…
Motivated by the study of algebraic classes in mixed characteristic we define a countable subalgebra of $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}_p$ which we call the algebra of Andr\'e's $p$-adic periods. We construct a tannakian framework to study these periods.…
There is a fruitful interplay between algebraic geometry on the one side and perturbative quantum field theory on the other side. I review the main relevant mathematical concepts of periods, Hodge structures and Picard-Fuchs equations and…
We present period domains of complex Hodge structures and some of their basic properties from representation theory point of view. Specifically we introduce the automorphic cohomology of period domains and the complex structure on symmetric…
In their book Rapoport and Zink constructed rigid analytic period spaces for Fontaine's filtered isocrystals, and period morphisms from moduli spaces of p-divisible groups to some of these period spaces. We determine the image of these…
We consider multi-loop integrals in dimensional regularisation and the corresponding Laurent series. We study the integral in the Euclidean region and where all ratios of invariants and masses have rational values. We prove that in this…
We construct a period regulator for motivic cohomology of an algebraic scheme over a subfield of the complex numbers. For the field of algebraic numbers we formulate a period conjecture for motivic cohomology by saying that this period…
Periods are defined as integrals of semialgebraic functions defined over the rationals. Periods form a countable ring not much is known about. Examples are given by taking the antiderivative of a power series which is algebraic over the…
This expository text is an invitation to the relation between quantum field theory Feynman integrals and periods. We first describe the relation between the Feynman parametrization of loop amplitudes and world-line methods, by explaining…
The goal of this paper is to give an explicit formula for the l-adic cohomology of period domains over finite fields for arbitrary reductive groups. The result is a generalisation of the computation in math.AG/9907098 which treats the case…
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…
We construct a period mapping for deformations of a differential graded algebra, that generalizes Griffiths' period mapping. It is constructed as a morphism between differential graded Lie algebras which has a moduli-theoretic…
We apply the structure theory of finite dimensional algebras in order to deduce dimension formulas for spaces of period numbers, i.e., complex numbers defined by integrals of algebraic nature. We get a complete and conceptually clear answer…
A period of a rational integral is the result of integrating, with respect to one or several variables, a rational function over a closed path. This work focuses particularly on periods depending on a parameter: in this case the period…
In analogy with the periods of abelian integrals of differentials of third kind for an elliptic curve defined over a number field, we introduce a notion of periods of third kind for a rank 2 Drinfeld Fq[t]-module rho defined over an…
