abstract
In this article, we present a new implementation of the Laporta algorithm to reduce scalar multi-loop integrals---appearing in quantum field theoretic calculations---to a set of master integrals. We extend existing approaches by using an additional algorithm based on modular arithmetic to remove linearly dependent equations from the system of equations arising from integration-by-parts and Lorentz identities. Furthermore, the algebraic manipulations required in the back substitution are optimized. We describe in detail the implementation as well as the usage of the program. In addition, we show benchmarks for concrete examples and compare the performance to Reduze 2 and FIRE 5. In our benchmarks we find that Kira is highly competitive with these existing tools.

At 5PM-1SF order, Calabi-Yau three-fold periods emerge in radiation-reacted observables for classical black hole scattering computed with worldline QFT and advanced IBP/DE methods.
A self-supervised transformer learns to unscramble Feynman integrals for online IBP reduction, delivering bounded memory use on complex two-loop topologies while matching Kira's speed on the hardest cases tested.
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.
First numerical evaluation of planar two-loop helicity amplitudes for W-boson plus four partons using finite-field reduction and sector decomposition on a subset of master integrals.
SIRENA automates IBP reduction of sum-integrals in finite-temperature QFT, reproduces known results to 3 loops, supplies new 3-loop fermionic reductions, and derives an analytic factorization formula for arbitrary 2-loop fermionic sum-integrals.
Three-loop perturbative corrections to B and D meson lifetime ratios are calculated, producing values that agree with experiment when using HQET sum rules or lattice inputs.
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.
N³LO QCD predictions for photon-pair production are presented, demonstrating perturbative convergence.
Covariant differentiation on the dual vector space spanned by master integrals reduces a large class of Feynman integrals to masters, with connections reusable across mass configurations.
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
SCET factorization confirms the double-logarithmic resummation for B_c to eta_c form factors up to three loops and derives the iterative structure from RG equations of light-cone distribution amplitudes with cutoff regularization.
A basis of six uniform-transcendental five-point off-shell conformal integrals is constructed and mapped to known families, yielding symbol-level two-loop results for half-BPS correlators.
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.
A lightcone-expansion strategy using Wilson-line correlators and the Method of Regions yields the three-loop soft anomalous dimension for QCD amplitudes with one massive colored particle and arbitrary massless ones.
A closed formula computes static post-Newtonian corrections at arbitrary odd orders in gravity, yielding the explicit seventh post-Newtonian potential that matches an independent diagrammatic method.
SubTropica is a software package that automates symbolic integration of linearly-reducible Euler integrals via tropical subtraction, supported by HyperIntica and an AI-driven Feynman integral database.
Three-loop QCD corrections to electroweak radiative parameters Δρ, Δr, and Δκ are computed, yielding an updated W boson mass prediction relevant for FCC precision targets.
The report reviews progress since 2021 in fixed-order computations for LHC applications and identifies processes requiring missing higher-order corrections to match anticipated experimental precision.
