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 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…

This article introduces moduli spaces of coloured graphs on which Feynman amplitudes can be viewed as 'discrete' volume densities. The basic idea behind this construction is that these moduli spaces decompose into disjoint unions of open…

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…

In a number of recent works [6, 7] the authors have introduced and studied a functor $\mathcal{F}_k$ which associates to each loose graph $\Gamma$ -which is similar to a graph, but where edges with $0$ or $1$ vertex are allowed - a…

We develop a motivic framework for Feynman integrals of one-loop graphs in momentum space. Its advantage compared to the already existing framework in Feynman representation is that it naturally includes graphs with cuts. To each such…

We derive a minimal set of Feynman rules for the loop amplitudes in unitary models of closed strings, whose target space is a simply laced (extended) Dynkin diagram. The string field Feynman graphs are composed of propagators, vertices…

In the theory of line graphs of undirected graphs there exists an important theorem linking the incidence matrix of the root graph to the adjacency matrix of its line graph. For directed or mixed graphs, however, the exists no analogous…

We present a method for computing the framing on the cohomology of graph hypersurfaces defined by the Feynman differential form. This answers a question of Bloch, Esnault and Kreimer in the affirmative for an infinite class of graphs for…

In this talk we discuss mathematical structures associated to Feynman graphs. Feynman graphs are the backbone of calculations in perturbative quantum field theory. The mathematical structures -- apart from being of interest in their own…

We show that sums over graphs such as appear in the theory of Feynman diagrams can be seen as integrals over discrete groupoids. From this point of view, basic combinatorial formulas of the theory of Feynman diagrams can be interpreted as…

We describe differential forms representing Feynman amplitudes in configuration spaces of Feynman graphs, and regularization and evaluation techniques, for suitable chains of integration, that give rise to periods of mixed Tate motives.

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…

A unified treatment of Schwinger parametrised Feynman amplitudes is suggested which addresses vertices of arbitrary order on the same footing as propagators. Contributions from distinct diagrams are organised collectively. The scheme is…

Group field theories are higher dimensional generalizations of matrix models. Their Feynman graphs are fat and in addition to vertices, edges and faces, they also contain higher dimensional cells, called bubbles. In this paper, we propose a…

Already in the 1960s Grothendieck understood that one could obtain an almost entirely satisfactory theory of motives over a finite field when one assumes the full Tate conjecture. In this note we prove a similar result for motivic…

We introduce moduli spaces of colored graphs, defined as spaces of non-degenerate metrics on certain families of edge-colored graphs. Apart from fixing the rank and number of legs these families are determined by various conditions on the…

We show that the motivic vanishing cycles introduced by J. Denef and F. Loeser give rise to a motivic measure on the Grothendieck ring of varieties over the affine line. We discuss the relation of this motivic measure to the motivic measure…

To a simple graph we associate a so-called graph series, which can be viewed as the Hilbert--Poincar\'e series of a certain infinite jet scheme. We study new $q$-representations and examine modular properties of several examples including…

We study the related questions: (i) when Feynman amplitudes in massless $\phi^4$ theory evaluate to multiple zeta values, and (ii) when their underlying motives are mixed Tate. More generally, by considering configurations of singular…
