Motivic approach to the evaluation of Feynman integrals

Seminars

Joint Seminar “Quantum Field Theory” and “Modern Mathematical Physics”

Date and Time: Wednesday, 6 June 2018, at 11:00 AM

Venue: Blokhintsev Hall (4th floor), Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics

Seminar topic: “Motivic approach to the evaluation of Feynman integrals”

Speaker: Pierre Vanhove (IPhT, Saclay)

Abstract:

In this talk I will present a way to evaluate Feynman integral making use of the algebraic geometry defined by the graph polynomial. I will explain in what sense Feynman integral are period integrals, and how this point of view allows to derive their differential equation and provide new way of evaluating these integrals.
