    An infinite family of elliptic ladder integrals

    We identify two families of ten-point Feynman diagrams that generalize the elliptic double box, and show that they can be expressed in terms of the same class of elliptic multiple polylogarithms to all loop or...

    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...

    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...

    A novel algorithm for nested summation and hypergeometric expansions

    We consider a class of sums over products of Z-sums whose arguments differ by a symbolic integer. Such sums appear, for instance, in the expansion of Gauss hypergeometric functions around integer indices that dep...

    Conformally-regulated direct integration of the two-loop heptagon remainder

    We reproduce the two-loop seven-point remainder function in planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory by direct integration of conformally-regulated chiral integrands. The remainder function is obtain...

    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...

    Six-Gluon amplitudes in planar \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory at six and seven loops

    Rationalizing loop integration

    We show that direct Feynman-parametric loop integration is possible for a large class of planar multi-loop integrals. Much of this follows from the existence of manifestly dual-conformal Feynman-parametric rep...
