Copositive matrices and copositive polynomials are objects from optimization. We connect these to the geometry of Feynman integrals in physics. The integral is guaranteed to converge if its kinematic parameters lie in the copositive cone.…

We perform a recursive reduction of one-loop $n$-point rank $R$ tensor Feynman integrals [in short: $(n,R)$-integrals] for $n\leq 6$ with $R\leq n$ by representing $(n,R)$-integrals in terms of $(n,R-1)$- and $(n-1,R-1)$-integrals. We use…

It is well known that the SU(2)-gauge invariant phase space of loop gravity can be represented in terms of twisted geometries. These are piecewise-linear-flat geometries obtained by gluing together polyhedra, but the resulting geometries…
