A geometrical way to calculate N-point Feynman diagrams is reviewed. As an example, the dimensionally-regulated three-point function is considered, including all orders of its epsilon-expansion. Analytical continuation to other regions of…
We study Feynman checkers, an elementary model of electron motion introduced by R. Feynman. In this model, a checker moves on a checkerboard, and we count the turns. Feynman checkers are also known as a one-dimensional quantum walk. We…
Topological quantum field theories can be used as a powerful tool to probe geometry and topology in low dimensions. Chern-Simons theories, which are examples of such field theories, provide a field theoretic framework for the study of knots…
We investigate Feynman diagrams which are calculable in terms of generalized one-loop functions, and explore how the presence or absence of transcendentals in their counterterms reflects the entanglement of link diagram constructed from…
We investigate numerically and analytically Potts models on ``thin'' random graphs -- generic Feynman diagrams, using the idea that such models may be expressed as the N --> 1 limit of a matrix model. The thin random graphs in this limit…
The divergence of perturbative expansions for the vast majority of macroscopic systems, which follows from Dyson's collapse argument, prevents Feynman's diagrammatic technique from being directly used for controllable studies of strongly…
We describe the FeynEdit tool for drawing Feynman diagrams. Input and output is done using the LaTeX macros of FeynArts, which also implies that diagrams drawn by FeynArts can be edited with FeynEdit. The LaTeX code can be conveniently…
This paper reviews and generalizes Feynman's path integration methods which use time slicing with straight line segments and Fourier sine series. The generalizations are done from variational calculus considerations and in one dimension for…
The universal Vassiliev invariant from the perturbative Chern-Simons theory is actually a knot invariant without any correction term. The anomaly considered by Bott and Taubes is proved to be zero.
The large $k$ asymptotics (perturbation series) for integrals of the form $\int_{\cal F}\mu e^{i k S}$, where $\mu$ is a smooth top form and $S$ is a smooth function on a manifold ${\cal F}$, both of which are invariant under the action of…

An arbitrary term of the epsilon-expansion of dimensionally regulated off-shell massless one-loop three-point Feynman diagram is expressed in terms of log-sine integrals related to the polylogarithms. Using magic connection between these…

Negative dimensional integration method (NDIM) is revealing itself as a very useful technique for computing Feynman integrals, massless and/or massive, covariant and non-covariant alike. Up to now, however, the illustrative calculations…
The theory of graphical functions is generalized from scalar theories to theories with spin, leading to a numerator structure in Feynman integrals. The main part of this article treats the case of positive integer spin, which is obtained…
In quantum electrodynamics, optical processes are theoretically described by double-sided Feynman diagrams. This formalism is powerful in the case of molecules but proves inappropriate to account for light-matter interactions within complex…
This paper contains an attempt to formulate rigorously and to check predictions in enumerative geometry of curves following from Mirror Symmetry. The main tool is a new notion of stable map. We give an outline of a contsruction of…
We propose a new set of Master Integrals which can be used as a basis for certain multiloop calculations in massless gauge field theories. In these theories we consider three-point Feynman diagrams with arbitrary number of loops. The…
