abstract
We describe a family of finite, four-dimensional, $L$-loop Feynman integrals that involve weight-$(L+1)$ hyperlogarithms integrated over $(L-1)$-dimensional elliptically fibered varieties we conjecture to be Calabi-Yau. At three loops, we identify the relevant K3 explicitly; and we provide strong evidence that the four-loop integral involves a Calabi-Yau threefold. These integrals are necessary for the representation of amplitudes in many theories---from massless $\varphi^4$ theory to integrable theories including maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the planar limit---a fact we demonstrate.

Proposes motivic coaction formulae for genus-one iterated integrals over holomorphic Eisenstein series using zeta generators, verifies expected coaction properties, and deduces f-alphabet decompositions of multiple modular values.
An extension of the Griffiths-Dwork algorithm produces twisted Picard-Fuchs operators for hypergeometric, elliptic, and Calabi-Yau motives from families of Feynman integrals.
The extra-involution mechanism for genus drop is a special case of unramified double covering between curves, which explains genus drops with non-hyperelliptic to hyperelliptic transitions in certain three-loop Feynman integrals.
