We continue the development of a position space approach to equations for Feynman multi-loop integrals. The key idea of the approach is that unintegrated products of Greens functions in position space are still loop integral in momentum…
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 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…
We present a systematic method to derive an ordinary differential equation for any Feynman integral, where the differentiation is with respect to an external variable. The resulting differential equation is of Fuchsian type. The method can…
We report on three improvements in the context of Feynman integral reduction and $\varepsilon$-factorised differential equations: Firstly, we show that with a specific choice of prefactors, we trivialise the $\varepsilon$-dependence of the…
Dimensionally or analytically regulated Feynman integrals lead to relative twisted period integrals. We present a recent extension of the Griffiths-Dwork pole reduction algorithm for deriving the D-module of differential operators acting on…
We extend the study of banana diagrams in coordinate representation to the case of curved space-times. If the space is harmonic, the Green functions continue to depend on a single variable -- the geodesic distance. But now this dependence…
Starting from the Mellin-Barnes integral representation of a Feynman integral depending on set of kinematic variables $z_i$, we derive a system of partial differential equations w.r.t.\ new variables $x_j$, which parameterize the…
In this paper, we give a detailed account of the algorithm outlined in [1] for Feynman integral reduction and $\varepsilon$-factorised differential equations. The algorithm consists of two steps. In the first step, we use a new geometric…
We compute the three-loop banana integral with four unequal masses in dimensional regularisation. This integral is associated to a family of K3 surfaces, thus representing an example for Feynman integrals with geometries beyond elliptic…
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…
In this talk, we use several examples to elaborate on how a recently proposed algorithm can turn non-trivial Feynman integrals into an $\varepsilon $-factorised manner, regardless of their hidden geometric essence. In particular, some extra…
We generalise a method recently introduced in the literature, that derives canonical differential equations, to multi-scale Feynman integrals with an underlying Calabi-Yau geometry. We start by recomputing a canonical form for the sunrise…
This paper continues our previous study of Feynman integrals in configuration spaces and their algebro-geometric and motivic aspects. We consider here both massless and massive Feynman amplitudes, from the point of view of potential theory.…
