Abstract
We describe a family of finite, four-dimensional, -loop Feynman integrals that involve weight- hyperlogarithms integrated over -dimensional elliptically fibered varieties we conjecture to be Calabi-Yau. At three loops, we identify the relevant K3 explicitly; and we provide strong evidence that the four-loop integral involves a Calabi-Yau threefold. These integrals are necessary for the representation of amplitudes in many theories---from massless theory to integrable theories including maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the planar limit---a fact we demonstrate.
