Given a family of varieties, the Euler discriminant locus distinguishes points where Euler characteristic differs from its generic value. We introduce a hypergeometric system associated with a flat family of very affine locally complete intersection varieties. It is proven that the Euler discriminant locus is its singular locus and is purely one-codimensional unless it is empty. Of particular interest is a family of very affine hypersurfaces. We coin the term hypergeometric discriminant for the characteristic cycle of the hypergeometric system and establish a formula in terms of likelihood equations.

    New algorithm identifies complete Landau singularities of Feynman integrals via Euler characteristic drops over finite fields, applied to non-planar two-loop six-point and massive three-loop graphs.

    A combinatorial analog of GKZ theory is constructed for realizable matroids, defining the principal matroid determinant via resultants and introducing a holonomic matroid hypergeometric system whose singular locus is ...

  3. New Tools in the Landau Bootstrap

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Certain Feynman-integral discontinuities are 'non-repeating' (a second cut at the same singularity always vanishes), and certain 'Lefschetz-unique' discontinuities are independent of the order of prior cuts.
