Graphical functions have emerged as a powerful framework for evaluating multi-loop Feynman integrals in perturbative quantum field theory. Defined as massless three-point position-space integrals, they reveal rich analytic structures and…

The algebraic approach to quantum mechanics has been vital to the development of quantum theory since its inception, and it has evolved into a mathematically rigorous $C^\ast$-algebraic formulation of the theory's axioms. Conversely, the…
