The integrand of any multi-loop integral is characterised after Feynman parametrisation by two polynomials. In this review we summarise the properties of these polynomials. Topics covered in this article include among others: Spanning trees…
We consider the calculation of the master integrals of the three-loop massive banana graph. In the case of equal internal masses, the graph is reduced to three master integrals which satisfy an irreducible system of three coupled linear…
We investigate which graphs H have the property that in every graph with bounded clique number and sufficiently large chromatic number, some induced subgraph is isomorphic to a subdivision of H. In an earlier paper, one of us proved that…
We propose the extension of the position space approach to Feynman integrals from the banana family to generic Feynman diagrams. Our approach is based on getting rid of integration in position space and then writing differential equations…
We investigate a class of random graph ensembles based on the Feynman graphs of multidimensional integrals, representing statistical-mechanical partition functions. We show that the resulting ensembles of random graphs strongly resemble…
We outline ideas to connect the analytic structure of Feynman amplitudes to the structure of Karen Vogtmann's {\em Outer Space}. We focus on the role of cubical chain complexes in this context, and also investigate the bordification problem…
We investigate combinatorial and algebraic aspects of the interplay between renormalization and monodromies for Feynman amplitudes. We clarify how extraction of subgraphs from a Feynman graph interacts with putting edges onshell or with…
We study chip-firing games on multigraphs whose underlying simple graphs are trees, paths, and stars, denoted as banana trees, paths, and stars respectively. We present a polynomial time algorithm to compute the divisorial gonality of…
We consider two seemingly unrelated problems, the calculation of the WKB expansion of the harmonic oscillator wave functions and the counting the number of Feynman diagrams in QED or in many-body physics and show that their solutions are…
We provide a comprehensive summary of concepts from Calabi-Yau motives relevant to the computation of multi-loop Feynman integrals. From this we derive several consequences for multi-loop integrals in general, and we illustrate them on the…
A {\em flower} is a coin graph representation of the wheel graph. A {\em petal} of the wheel graph is an edge to the center vertex. In this paper we investigate flowers whose coins have integer radii. For an $n$-petaled flower we show there…
We present a review of the relations between various equations for maximal cut banana Feynman diagrams, i.e. amplitudes with propagators substituted with $\delta$-functions. We consider both equal and generic masses. There are three types…
Bidirected graphs are multigraphs where every edge has an independent direction at each end. In the paper, with an arbitrary bidirected graph we associate a non-negative integral quadratic form (called the incidence form of the graph), and…
We consider the infinite family of Feynman graphs known as the "banana graphs" and compute explicitly the classes of the corresponding graph hypersurfaces in the Grothendieck ring of varieties as well as their Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson…
We investigate Feynman graphs and their Feynman rules from the viewpoint of graph complexes. We focus on graph homology and on the appearance of cubical complexes when either reducing internal edges or when removing them by putting them on…
The bipartition polynomial of a graph is a generalization of many other graph polynomials, including the domination, Ising, matching, independence, cut, and Euler polynomial. We show in this paper that it is also a powerful tool for proving…
Relations between multiple unitarity cuts and coproducts of Feynman integrals are extended to allow for internal masses. These masses introduce new branch cuts, whose discontinuities can be derived by placing single propagators on shell and…
In this talk we discuss mathematical structures associated to Feynman graphs. Feynman graphs are the backbone of calculations in perturbative quantum field theory. The mathematical structures -- apart from being of interest in their own…
We develop techniques for computing and analyzing multiple unitarity cuts of Feynman integrals, and reconstructing the integral from these cuts. We study the relations among unitarity cuts of a Feynman integral computed via diagrammatic…
In this talk we discuss the construction of a basis of master integrals for the family of the $l$-loop equal-mass banana integrals, such that the differential equation is in an $\varepsilon$-factorised form. As the $l$-loop banana integral…
