Very recently planar collections of Feynman diagrams were proposed by Borges and one of the authors as the natural generalization of Feynman diagrams for the computation of $k=3$ biadjoint amplitudes. Planar collections are one-dimensional…
Planar arrays of tree diagrams were introduced as a generalization of Feynman diagrams that enables the computation biadjoint amplitudes $m^{(k)}_n$ for $k>2$ . In this follow-up work we investigate the poles of $m^{(k)}_n$ from the…
In this paper, we propose new understandings for recently discovered hidden zeros and novel splittings, by utilizing Feynman diagrams. The study focus on ordered tree level amplitudes of three theories, which are ${\rm Tr}(\phi^3)$,…
The biadjoint scalar theory has cubic interactions and fields transforming in the biadjoint representation of ${\rm SU}(N)\times {\rm SU}\big({\tilde N}\big)$. Amplitudes are "color" decomposed in terms of partial amplitudes computed using…
In the CHY-frame for the tree-level amplitudes, the bi-adjoint scalar theory has played a fundamental role because it gives the on-shell Feynman diagrams for all other theories. Recently, an interesting generalization of the bi-adjoint…
Following an argument advanced by Feynman, we consider a method for obtaining the effective action which generates the sum of tree diagrams with external physical particles. This technique is applied, in the unbroken \lambda \phi^4 theory,…
Taking a Feynman categorical perspective, several key aspects of the geometry of surfaces are deduced from combinatorial constructions with graphs. This provides a direct route from combinatorics of graphs to string topology operations via…
Quasi-trees generalize trees in that the unique "path" between two nodes may be infinite and have any countable order type. They are used to define the rank-width of a countable graph in such a way that it is equal to the least upper-bound…
It was proposed in hep-th/0403047 that all tree amplitudes in pure Yang-Mills theory can be constructed from known MHV amplitudes. We apply this approach for calculating tree amplitudes of gauge fields and fermions and find agreement with…
In order to use the Gaussian representation for propagators in Feynman amplitudes, a representation which is useful to relate string theory and field theory, one has to prove first that each $\alpha$- parameter (where $\alpha$ is the…
In this paper we start a systematic study of quantum field theory on random trees. Using precise probability estimates on their Galton-Watson branches and a multiscale analysis, we establish the general power counting of averaged Feynman…
Metric trees and metric tree arrangements index cones in the polyhedral fan structure in the Dressian $Dr(2,n)$ and $Dr(3,n)$ respectively. We introduce the notion of generalized metric tree arrangements which parameterize points in…
Yangian-type differential operators are shown to constrain Feynman integrals beyond the restriction to integrable graphs. In particular, we prove that all position-space Feynman diagrams at tree level feature a Yangian level-one momentum…
The purpose of this paper is to build an algebraic framework suited to regularise branched structures emanating from rooted forests and which encodes the locality principle. This is achieved by means of the universal properties in the…
We discuss the enumeration of Feynman diagrams at tree order for processes with external lines of different types. We show how this can be done by iterating algebraic Schwinger-Dyson equations. Asymptotic estimates for very many external…
Feynman rules for the Standard Model including non-linear gauges are derived and implemented in the FeynArts package. The calculations using FeynArts with the new rules show that tree-level amplitudes are gauge invariant and that…
We compute tree-level $n$-point scattering amplitudes in scalar field theories in terms of geometric invariants on a fibre bundle. All 0- and 2-derivative interactions are incorporated into a metric on this bundle. The on-shell amplitudes…
We introduce a novel compositional description of Feynman diagrams, with well-defined categorical semantics as morphisms in a dagger-compact category. Our chosen setting is suitable for infinite-dimensional diagrammatic reasoning,…
The tree metric theorem provides a combinatorial four point condition that characterizes dissimilarity maps derived from pairwise compatible split systems. A similar (but weaker) four point condition characterizes dissimilarity maps derived…
We investigate relations between loop and tree amplitudes in quantum field theory that involve putting on-shell some loop propagators. This generalizes the so-called Feynman tree theorem which is satisfied at 1-loop. Exploiting retarded…
