abstract
We study the related questions: (i) when Feynman amplitudes in massless $\phi^4$ theory evaluate to multiple zeta values, and (ii) when their underlying motives are mixed Tate. More generally, by considering configurations of singular hypersurfaces which fiber linearly over each other, we deduce sufficient geometric and combinatorial criteria on Feynman graphs for both (i) and (ii) to hold. These criteria hold for some infinite classes of graphs which essentially contain all cases previously known to physicists. Calabi-Yau varieties appear at the point where these criteria fail.

Proposes a non-linear geometric framework for multiple zeta values using determinantal integral representations from tropical geometry, moduli spaces, and Feynman integrals, while outlining open questions.
A new open FORM package implements parametric hyperlogarithm integration, demonstrated on zigzag Feynman integrals up to six loops.
