abstract
We introduce the tools of intersection theory to the study of Feynman integrals, which allows for a new way of projecting integrals onto a basis. In order to illustrate this technique, we consider the Baikov representation of maximal cuts in arbitrary space-time dimension. We introduce a minimal basis of differential forms with logarithmic singularities on the boundaries of the corresponding integration cycles. We give an algorithm for computing a basis decomposition of an arbitrary maximal cut using so-called intersection numbers and describe two alternative ways of computing them. Furthermore, we show how to obtain Pfaffian systems of differential equations for the basis integrals using the same technique. All the steps are illustrated on the example of a two-loop non-planar triangle diagram with a massive loop.

Syzygy solutions for IBP reduction are systematically constructed as maximal minors of certificate matrices derived from the leading Landau singularities of Feynman diagrams.
Magic relations in Feynman integral families coincide with higher-dimensional critical varieties, enabling a practical test to detect and handle them.
Twisted Feynman integrals are introduced with graded Symanzik polynomials, classified as exponential periods, and shown to have geometry not inferable from generalized Baikov leading singularities.
Kira 2.0 implements finite-field coefficient reconstruction for IBP reductions and improved user-equation handling, yielding lower memory use and faster performance on state-of-the-art problems.
Feynman integrals selected for unit leading singularities in complex geometries satisfy epsilon-factorized differential equations with new transcendental functions corresponding to periods and differential forms in the Gauss-Manin connection.
A parity-split IBP system for n-propagator families in de Sitter space is identified, along with a conjecture that dlog-form differential equations extend to dS integrands with Hankel functions, verified for the one-loop bubble.
Discrete symmetries of Feynman integral families correspond to permutations of Feynman parameters and induce group actions on twisted cohomology whose characters are Euler characteristics of fixed-point sets, yielding a formula for master integral counts in symmetric banana diagrams up to four loops
Branch representation reduces the variable count for intersection-theory-based Feynman integral reduction to at most 3L-3 for L-loop integrals regardless of leg number.
LinApart3 performs multivariate partial fraction decomposition for linear-denominator rational functions using linear algebra and residue extraction on hyperplane arrangements, with guarantees on term structure, no spurious singularities, ordering independence, and spectator-variable insensitivity.
Inconsistency in spanning cuts for IBP reductions arises because cuts can make hidden terms in IBP relations finite via pinch singularities that cancel vanishing parameters, linked to hidden linear relations between propagators, for which an algorithm is provided.
A geometric order relation in IBP reduction yields a master-integral basis with Laurent-polynomial differential equations on the maximal cut that are then ε-factorized.
Analytic expressions for the planar master integrals in two-loop NLO EW light-fermion contributions to gg → ZH are derived via canonical differential equations and expressed using Goncharov polylogarithms or one-fold integrals over them.
AMFlow 2.0 cuts symbolic and numerical cost of multi-loop Feynman integral evaluation via an FT recursion mode, a C++ DE solver, and modern IBP reducers, demonstrated on a three-loop five-point family.
Contour equivalence in Feynman parameterization yields universal reduction formulas for one-loop integrals without integration-by-parts.
Reversing the direction of tubing evolution yields splitting rules that reproduce the kinematic flow differential equations at tree level and suggest time emerges from kinematic space in conformally coupled scalar models and tr phi^3 theory.
