Genus Drop in Hyperelliptic Feynman Integrals
read the original abstract
The maximal cut of the nonplanar crossed box diagram with all massive internal propagators was long ago shown to encode a hyperelliptic curve of genus 3 in momentum space. Surprisingly, in Baikov representation, the maximal cut of this diagram only gives rise to a hyperelliptic curve of genus 2. To show that these two representations are in agreement, we identify a hidden involution symmetry that is satisfied by the genus 3 curve, which allows it to be algebraically mapped to the curve of genus 2. We then argue that this is just the first example of a general mechanism by means of which hyperelliptic curves in Feynman integrals can drop from genus $g$ to $\lceil g/2 \rceil$ or $\lfloor g/2 \rfloor$, which can be checked for algorithmically. We use this algorithm to find further instances of genus drop in Feynman integrals.
