Identities among higher genus modular graph tensors

Abstract

Higher genus modular graph tensors map Feynman graphs to functions on the Torelli space of genus-hh compact Riemann surfaces which transform as tensors under the modular group Sp(2h,Z)Sp(2h , \mathbb Z), thereby generalizing a construction of Kawazumi. An infinite family of algebraic identities between one-loop and tree-level modular graph tensors are proven for arbitrary genus and arbitrary tensorial rank. We also derive a family of identities that apply to modular graph tensors of higher loop order.
