Traintracks Through Calabi-Yaus: Amplitudes Beyond Elliptic Polylogarithms
read the original 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.

The spectrum of Feynman-integral geometries at two loops
Two-loop Feynman integrals involve Riemann spheres, elliptic curves, hyperelliptic curves of genus 2 and 3, K3 surfaces, and a rationalizable Del Pezzo surface of degree 2.

Genus drop involving non-hyperelliptic curves in 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 Feynma...
