Following the work of Brown, we can canonically associate a family of motivic periods -- called the motivic Feynman amplitude -- to any convergent Feynman integral, viewed as a function of the kinematic variables. The motivic Galois theory…
This article gives a short step-by-step introduction to the representation of parametric Feynman integrals in scalar perturbative quantum field theory as periods of motives. The application of motivic Galois theory to the algebro-geometric…
Motivic local systems over a curve in finite characteristic form a countable set endowed with an action of the absolute Galois group of rational numbers commuting with the Frobenius map. I will discuss three series of conjectures about such…
In the first part of this paper we study the coaction dual to the action of the cosmic Galois group on the motivic lift of the sunrise Feynman integral with generic masses and momenta, and we express its conjugates in terms of motivic lifts…
We formulate the problem of renormalization of Feynman integrals and its relation to periods of motives in configuration space instead of momentum space. The algebro-geometric setting is provided by the wonderful compactifications of…
We argue that the description of Feynman loop integrals as integrable systems is intimately connected with their motivic properties and the action of the Cosmic Galois Group. We show how in the case of a family of fishnet graphs, coaction…
We prove a deletion-contraction formula for motivic Feynman rules given by the classes of the affine graph hypersurface complement in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. We derive explicit recursions and generating series for these motivic…
We construct a diagrammatic coaction acting on one-loop Feynman graphs and their cuts. The graphs are naturally identified with the corresponding (cut) Feynman integrals in dimensional regularization, whose coefficients of the Laurent…
We study the geometry and Hodge theory of the cubic hypersurfaces attached to two-loop Feynman integrals for generic physical parameters. We show that the Hodge structure attached to planar two-loop Feynman graphs decomposes into mixed Tate…
We prove a neat factorization property of Feynman graphs in covariant perturbation theory. The contribution of the graph to the effective action is written as a product of a massless scalar momentum integral that only depends on the basic…
We consider parametric Feynman integrals and their dimensional regularization from the point of view of differential forms on hypersurface complements and the approach to mixed Hodge structures via oscillatory integrals. We consider…
The Feynman amplitude associated to a graph is a period of a certain motive. The sum of these motive classes over all connected graphs with no multiple edges or tadpoles and n vertices is defined in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. This…
We give an algorithm for obtaining expansions of massive two-loop Feynman graphs in powers of the external momentum around a finite, nonzero value of the momentum. This is based on our general two-loop formalism to reduce massive two-loop…
We initiate a systematic study of one-loop integrals by investigating the connection between their singularity structures and geometric configurations in the projective space associated to their Feynman parametrization. We analyze these…
We investigate geometric and combinatorial aspects of the mysterious relationship between the action of the motivic Galois group on the motivic fundamental group of the projective line punctured at zero, infinity, and N-th roots of unity,…
We present a new method for the momentum expansion of Feynman integrals with arbitrary masses and any number of loops and external momenta. By using the parametric representation we derive a generating function for the coefficients of the…
We develop a generating-function formulation for the symbolic reduction of multi-loop Feynman integrals. In this framework, integration-by-parts identities are rewritten as differential equations for sector-wise generating functions, so the…
Let $m$ be an integer such that $m \geq 7$ and $m \equiv 0,1,7 \mod 8$. We construct strictly compatible systems of representations of $\Gamma_{\mathbb Q} \to \mathrm{Spin}_m(\overline{\mathbb Q}_l) \xrightarrow{\mathrm{spin}}…
