The method of regions, which provides a systematic approach for computing Feynman integrals involving multiple kinematic scales, proposes that a Feynman integral can be approximated and even reproduced by summing over integrals expanded in certain regions. A modern perspective of the method of regions considers any given Feynman integral as a specific Newton polytope, defined as the convex hull of the points associated with Symanzik polynomials. The regions then correspond one-to-one with the lower facets of this polytope. As Symanzik polynomials correspond to the spanning trees and spanning 2-trees of the Feynman graph, a graph-theoretical study of these polynomials may allow us to identify the complete set of regions for a given expansion. In this work, our primary focus is on three specific expansions: the on-shell expansion of generic wide-angle scattering, the soft expansion of generic wide-angle scattering, and the mass expansion of heavy-to-light decay. For each of these expansions, we employ graph-theoretical approaches to derive the generic forms of the regions involved in the method of regions. The results, applicable to all orders, offer insights that can be leveraged to investigate various aspects of scattering amplitudes.

  1. geoSCET: Soft Theorems from Power Counting

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    geoSCET derives geometric soft theorems for scalar field theories directly from effective-field-theory power counting and proves they are exact to all orders in perturbation theory when no potential is present.

  2. Spacelike-Collinear Scattering by the Method of Regions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The kinematic factorisation-violating part of the two-loop spacelike-collinear splitting amplitude comes entirely from a single hidden region with soft and Glauber loop momenta.

  3. Random Reshuffling-Based Distributed Nash Equilibrium Seeking

    math.OC 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Random reshuffling yields distributed Nash-seeking algorithms that, under partial decision information, converge linearly to a neighborhood (constant steps) or exactly a.s./in mean square (diminishing steps), outperfo...

  4. Low-energy theory of jet processes and PDF factorization

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A three-loop Glauber contribution to low-energy soft-collinear matrix elements exactly cancels the collinear factorization-violating terms, so DGLAP running and PDF factorization are consistent with super-leading logarithms.

  5. Soft Factorisation and Exponentiation from Schwinger-Space Geometry

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Soft-hard factorization and exponentiation of infrared divergences in QED are derived from graph Laplacians and tropical rays in Schwinger parameter space.
