In our previous paper, Real Polynomials with a Complex Twist [see http://archives.math.utk.edu/ICTCM/VOL28/A040/paper.pdf], we used advancements in computer graphics that allow us to easily illustrate more complete graphs of polynomial…

Feynman diagrams constitute one of the essential ingredients for making precision predictions for collider experiments. Yet, while the simplest Feynman diagrams can be evaluated in terms of multiple polylogarithms -- whose properties as…

In this talk we discuss a class of Feynman integrals, which can be expressed to all orders in the dimensional regularisation parameter as iterated integrals of modular forms. We review the mathematical prerequisites related to elliptic…

Classical and quantum walks on some finite paths are introduced. It is shown that these walks have explicit solutions given in terms of exceptional Krawtchouk polynomials and their properties are explored. In particular, fractional revival…

In this paper we complete the analysis begun by two of the authors in a previous work on the discrete quantum walk on the line [J. Phys. A 36:8775-8795 (2003) quant-ph/0303105 ]. We obtain uniformly convergent asymptotics for the…

In this talk we discuss the interplay of two elliptic curves, which occur in different sub-sectors of Feynman integrals. We analyse a particular Feynman integral depending on two elliptic curves and derive an associated differential…

An explicit investigation about the equal-mass two-loop sunrise Feynman graph is performed. Such perturbative amplitude is related with many important physical process treated in the standard model context. The background of this…

The Feynman checkerboard problem is an interesting path integral approach to the Dirac equation in `1+1' dimensions. I compare two approaches reported in the literature and show how they may be reconciled. Some physical insights may be…

A survey is given on mathematical structures which emerge in multi-loop Feynman diagrams. These are multiply nested sums, and, associated to them by an inverse Mellin transform, specific iterated integrals. Both classes lead to sets of…

Generalized Dyck paths (or discrete excursions) are one-dimensional paths that take their steps in a given finite set S, start and end at height 0, and remain at a non-negative height. Bousquet-M\'elou showed that the generating function…

Polylogrithmic functions, such as the logarithm or dilogarithm, satisfy a number of algebraic identities. For the logarithm, all the identities follow from the product rule. For the dilogarithm and higher-weight classical polylogarithms,…

In this talk we discuss the solution for the sunrise integral around two and four space-time dimensions in terms of a generalised elliptic version of the multiple polylogarithms. In two space-time dimensions we obtain a sum of three…

We review the Laporta algorithm for the reduction of scalar integrals to the master integrals and the differential equations technique for their evaluation. We discuss the use of the basis of harmonic polylogarithms for the analytical…

Feynman integrals appropriately generalized are $\mathsf A$-hypergeometric functions. Among the properties of $\mathsf A$-hypergeometric functions are symmetries associated with the Newton polytope. In ordinary hypergeometric functions…

Analytic results for the threshold and pseudothreshold values of the sunset diagram with arbitrary masses are obtained in terms of dilogarithms of ratios of the masses.

We investigate the behaviour of elliptic Feynman integrals under modular transformations. This has a practical motivation: Through a suitable modular transformation we can achieve that the nome squared is a small quantity, leading to fast…

We explain the concept of worldline Green functions on classes of multiloop graphs. The QED beta function and the 2-loop Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian are discussed for illustration.

``Quasi-elliptic'' functions can be given a ring structure in two different ways, using either ordinary multiplication, or convolution. The map between the corresponding standard bases is calculated. A related structure has appeared…

We derive a second-order differential equation for the two-loop sunrise graph in two dimensions with arbitrary masses. The differential equation is obtained by viewing the Feynman integral as a period of a variation of a mixed Hodge…

This course on Feynman integrals starts from the basics, requiring only knowledge from special relativity and undergraduate mathematics. Topics from quantum field theory and advanced mathematics are introduced as they are needed. The course…
