This lecture discusses the stratification of regions in the space of real symmetric matrices. The points of these regions are Mandelstam matrices for momentum vectors in particle physics. The kinematic strata are indexed by signs and rank two matroids. Matroid strata of Lorentzian polynomials arise when all signs are nonnegative. We describe the posets of strata, for massless and massive...

Tropical field theory is a limit of quantum field theory where the spacetime dimension and the propagator power simultaneously approach zero. This can equivalently be viewed as a specific limit of Mellin transforms of all Feynman integrals of the theory, where they become simple rational functions of a dimensional regulator. These tropicalized Feynman integrals retain much of the combinatorial...

Gravitational waveforms generated by the scattering of two compact bodies can be expressed as Fourier transforms of five-point amplitudes in impact-parameter space (KMOC). In this talk I will combine the Fourier and loop integrations, treating scattering waveforms as twisted period integrals, and allowing scattering-amplitude techniques to be applied directly in frequency space. By...

Given a family of varieties, the Euler discriminant locus distinguishes points where the Euler characteristic differs from its generic value. In the context of Feynman integrals, this locus corresponds to the Landau variety. We introduce a Lagrangian cycle, which we call a hypergeometric discriminant. The shadow of the hypergeometric discriminant is the Euler discriminant. This approach...

In this talk we describe the key points that made feasible the high-precision calculation of the 4-loop electron g-2: i.b.p. identities, high-precision solution of difference or differential equations and the analytical fit with PSLQ. We will take a first look to the 5-loop calculation, and discuss how the 4-loop approach could be extended to 5 loop.

Differential equations for Feynman integrals appear both in the form of annihilating operators (as D-ideals) as well as in matrix form (as Pfaffian systems). In my talk I will relate both of them in the context of Weyl algebras and Gröbner bases. This is based on arXiv:2504.01362 which describes how to obtain Pfaffian systems from D-ideals. An implementation is provided in Macaulay2.

We stratify families of projective and very affine hypersurfaces according to their topological Euler characteristic. Our new algorithms compute all strata using algebro-geometric techniques. For very affine hypersurfaces, we investigate and exploit the relation to critical point computations. Euler stratifications are relevant in particle physics and algebraic statistics. They fully describe...

We present a novel algorithm for constructing differential operators with respect to external variables that annihilate Feynman-like integrals and give rise to the associated D-modules, based on Griffiths–Dwork reduction.

We elaborate on the method of parametric annihilators for deriving relations among integrals. Annihilators are differential operators that annihilate multi-valued integration kernels appearing in suitable integral representations of special functions and Feynman integrals. We describe a method for computing parametric annihilators based on efficient linear solvers and show how to use them to...

The aim of this talk is to explain the basics of the D-module formulation of Feynman integrals, that is how to compute with these integrals through the lens of systems of linear PDEs. I will particularly insist on the integration part: how to obtain relations on the integrals of functions, given a description of the functions with PDEs. I will hint at a few ideas developed with Hadrien Brochet...

I will illustrate a method for computing period integrals of the mirror of a toric local Calabi-Yau manifold by analytic prolongation of a cohomology-valued hypergeometric function.

A growing body of evidence suggests that the complexity of Feynman integrals is most naturally understood through geometry. Recent mathematical developments by Kontsevich and Soibelman [arXiv:2402.07343] have illuminated the role of exponential integrals as periods of twisted de Rham cocycles over Betti cycles, offering a structured approach to address this problem in a wide range of settings....

Within the scattering amplitudes bootstrap program, I will present new hierarchical constraints on the symbol of the Feynman integral: genealogical constraints, which hold to all orders in dimensional regularisation. These constraints apply at any loop order, particle multiplicity, and for any configuration involving massive or massless virtual particles. I will also explain how one can find...

The Feynman integral is a complicated analytic function in many variables, associated to a merely combinatorial object, namely a graph. In this talk I will focus on the highest order poles of the Feynman integral, and explain how they can be described entirely by combinatorics of the graph. In fact, we conjecture that the integral itself is fully determined by these residues, which turn out to...

In recent years it has become clear that the critical points of the "twist" play a crucial role in the study of relations between dimensionally regulated Feynman integrals. There is a great deal of understanding of these points both in the Lee-Pomeransky counting of master integrals and in the application of intersection theory to Feynman integrals. However, their role in the structure of...

It is well known that the number of master integrals for a family of Feynman integrals can be smaller than the dimension of the corresponding twisted cohomology group due to the presence of symmetries. This can lead to redundant computations of intersection numbers. We propose a basis choice such that only a subset of these intersection numbers needs to be computed.
