    One-loop integrals from volumes of orthoschemes

    Recently in ar**v:2012.05599 Rudenko presented a formula for the volume of hyperbolic orthoschemes in terms of alternating polylogarithms. We use this result to provide an explicit analytic result for the one-...

    Constraints on sequential discontinuities from the geometry of on-shell spaces

    We present several classes of constraints on the discontinuities of Feynman integrals that go beyond the Steinmann relations. These constraints follow from a geometric formulation of the Landau equations that ...

    Cuts and isogenies

    We consider the genus-one curves which arise in the cuts of the sunrise and in the elliptic double-box Feynman integrals. We compute and compare invariants of these curves in a number of ways, including Feynma...

    Sequential discontinuities of Feynman integrals and the monodromy group

    We generalize the relation between discontinuities of scattering amplitudes and cut diagrams to cover sequential discontinuities (discontinuities of discontinuities) in arbitrary momentum channels. The new rel...

    Direct Integration for Multi-Leg Amplitudes: Tips, Tricks, and When They Fail

    Direct hyperlogarithmic integration offers a strong alternative to differential equation methods for Feynman integration, particularly for multi-particle diagrams. We review a variety of results by the authors...

    All-mass n-gon integrals in n dimensions

    We explore the correspondence between one-loop Feynman integrals and (hyperbolic) simplicial geometry to describe the all-mass case: integrals with generic external and internal masses. Specifically, we focus on

    Traintrack Calabi-Yaus from twistor geometry

    We describe the geometry of the leading singularity locus of the traintrack integral family directly in momentum twistor space. For the two-loop case, known as the elliptic double box, the leading singularity ...

    Rooting out letters: octagonal symbol alphabets and algebraic number theory

    It is widely expected that NMHV amplitudes in planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory require symbol letters that are not rationally expressible in terms of momentum-twistor (or cluster) variables s...

    Embedding Feynman integral (Calabi-Yau) geometries in weighted projective space

    It has recently been demonstrated that Feynman integrals relevant to a wide range of perturbative quantum field theories involve periods of Calabi-Yau manifolds of arbitrarily large dimension. While the number...

    Polylogarithm Identities, Cluster Algebras and the \(\mathcal {N} = 4\)  Supersymmetric Theory

    Scattering amplitudes in \(\mathcal {N} = 4\) super-Yang Mills theory can be computed to higher perturbative orders than in any other four-dimensional quantum field theory. The results are interesting transcenden...
