5 Master integrals II The system can be rewritten as I (1, 1, 1) I (1, 1, 1) p 2 I (2, 1, 1) p 2 I (1, 2, 1) = Â I (2, 1, 1) I (0, 1, 1) I (1, 2, 1) + B I (1, 0, 1) I I (1, 1, 2) I (1, 1, 2) (1, 1, 0) Leads to a 4th order differential operator on I (1, 1, 1) which factorizes into product of two first orders and 2nd order L PF operator The previous system of equation has the geometry interpretation of being a connection associated to a given cohomology: this is the Gauss-Manin connection. But of what cohomology? If A has a nice form we can immediately recognized this leads to MPL [Henn]. What about functions beyond MPL?

11 The toric approach The number of master integrals are given by the Euler characteristic of the complement of the graph polynomials [Bitoun, Bogner, Klausen, Panzer] #master-integrals = ( 1) n χ(c n \{x 1 x n (U + Φ Γ = 0)}) For the sunset we get 7 : 4 non-degenerate integrals and 3 reduced topologies Pierre Vanhove (IPhT & HSE) Feynman integrals & Mirror symmetry 1/03/ / 41
12 The toric approach : review Consider the homogeneous polynomial of degree L + 1 in P n 1 P(z 1,..., z r ) = a 1,...,a n 1 a 1 + +a n 1 =L+1 z a1,,a n 1 n 1 with {z r } = {z a1,,a n 1 } and a = (a 1,..., a n 1 ) and A = (a 1,, a r ) finite subset of Z r For every vector l L such that L := {(l 1,..., l r ) Z r, l l r = 0, l 1 a l r a r = 0} then there are the following differential operators l := l i z i l i z i l i >0 l i <0 and a system of n differential operator (including the Euler operator) x a i i E a,c := a 1 z a r z r c (c C n ) z 1 z r Pierre Vanhove (IPhT & HSE) Feynman integrals & Mirror symmetry 1/03/ / 41
13 The GZK approach : review GZK have shown that the functions Φ := x 1 = = x n 1 =1 n 1 P(z 1,..., z r ) m i i satisfy l Φ = 0 for all l = (l 1,..., l r ) L and E a,c Φ = 0 The generic solution of GZK system are the hypergeometric series r z γ j +l j j Φ L,γ (z 1,, z r ) = Γ(γ j + l j + 1) (l 1,...,l r ) L j=1 with (γ 1,..., γ r ) C r In general for a well choosen l L the differential operator factorizes a piece giving the Picard-Fuchs operator x β i dx i x i Pierre Vanhove (IPhT & HSE) Feynman integrals & Mirror symmetry 1/03/ / 41
14 The toric approach: consequences The following period integral π P = is the maximal cut integral Max-Cut(I Γ (1,..., 1)) := is actually π Γ = Γ(ν LD 2 ) x 1 = = x n 1 =1 R L(1,D 1) x i =1 n 1 1 dx i P(z 1,..., z r ) x i V n δ( ɛ ij q j ) U ν (L+1) D 2 Γ Φ ν L D 2 Γ j=1 n δ((q i ) 2 ) δ(x n = 1) n dx i x 1 ν i i L d D l i One can easily derive the Picard-Fuchs operator from the graph polynomials Pierre Vanhove (IPhT & HSE) Feynman integrals & Mirror symmetry 1/03/ / 41
15 Feynman integral and periods I Γ = Γ(ν LD 2 ) n Ω Γ ; Ω Γ := Uν (L+1) D 2 Φ Γ (x i ) ν L D 2 n 1 dx i x 1 ν i i Ω Γ algebraic differential form on the complement of the graph hypersurface Ω Γ H n 1 (P n 1 \X Γ ) X Γ := {Φ Γ (x i ) = 0, x i P n 1 } The domain of integration is the simplex n n := {x 1 0,..., x n 0 [x 1,..., x n ] P n 1 } Pierre Vanhove (IPhT & HSE) Feynman integrals & Mirror symmetry 1/03/ / 41
16 Feynman integral and periods D n and X Γ are separated by performing a series of iterated blowups of the complement of the graph hypersurface [Bloch, Esnault, Kreimer] The Feynman integral are periods of the relative cohomology after performing the appropriate blow-ups H n 1 ( P n 1 \ X F ; Dn \ Dn X Γ ) Pierre Vanhove (IPhT & HSE) Feynman integrals & Mirror symmetry 1/03/ / 41
17 Picard-Fuchs equation M(s ij, m i ) := H ( P n 1 \ X F ; Dn \ Dn X Γ ) Since Ω Γ varies when one changes the kinematic variables s ij one needs to study a variation of (mixed) Hodge structure Consequently the Feynman integral will satisfy a differential equation L PF I Γ = S Γ The Picard-Fuchs operator will arise from the study of the variation of the differential in the cohomology when kinematic variables change Generically there is an inhomogeneous term S Γ 0 Pierre Vanhove (IPhT & HSE) Feynman integrals & Mirror symmetry 1/03/ / 41
18 The differential operator: from the period The analytic period of the elliptic curve around p 2 has the same integrand as the Feynman integral but we have just changed the domain of integration π 0 (p 2 ) := Ω x = y =1 This is the imaginary part or the maximal cut of the amplitude C Im(I (p 2 )) = 3 δ(l 2 i m2 i ) δ(l 1+l 2 +p) d 2 l 1 d 2 l 2 The other period is π 1 (s) = log(s) π 0 (s) + ϖ 1 (s) with ϖ 1 (s) analytic is obtained by looking at different unitarity cut cutting less lines Pierre Vanhove (IPhT & HSE) Feynman integrals & Mirror symmetry 1/03/ / 41
19 The differential operator: from the period The integral is the analytic period of the elliptic curve around p 2 π 0 (p 2 ) := 1 ( ) n! 2 3 (p 2 ) n+1 m 2n i n 1!n 2!n 3! i n 0 n 1 +n 2 +n 3 =n From the series expansion we can deduce the Picard-Fuch differential operator (the system has maximal unipotent monodromy) L π 0 (p 2 ) = 0 With this method one easily derives the PF at all loop order for the all equal mass sunset and show the order(pf)=loop [Vanhove] Gives for the 3-loop sunset the PF has order 2 + #( masses) = 3, 4, 5, 6. The geometry is a K 3 of Picard rank 20 #( masses) = 19, 17, 18, 16 [Doran, Novoseltsev, Vanhove; to appear] Pierre Vanhove (IPhT & HSE) Feynman integrals & Mirror symmetry 1/03/ / 41
20 The differential equation By general consideration we know that since the integrand is a top form we have L Γ I Γ = dβ Γ = β Γ = S Γ 0 n n Writing the differential equation as δ s := s d ds with s = 1/p2 ( ) ( ) δ 2 1 s + q 1 (s)δ s + q 0 (s) s I (s) = Y + 3 log(mi 2 )c i(s) Pierre Vanhove (IPhT & HSE) Feynman integrals & Mirror symmetry 1/03/ / 41
21 The differential equation Using works from [del Angel,Müller-Stach] and [Doran, Kerr] we know that when rank of the D-module system of differential equations that Y is the Yukawa coupling Y := E(p 2 ) Ω s d ds Ω = 2s2 4 µ i 4s i m2 i (µ2 i s 1) The Yukawa coupling is the Wronskian of the Picard-Fuchs operator and only depends on the form of the Picard-Fuchs operator ( π0 (s) π Y = s det 1 (s) d ds π 0(s) d ds π 1(s) So far all we got can be deduced from the graph polynomial, and the associated Picard-Fuchs operator. ) Pierre Vanhove (IPhT & HSE) Feynman integrals & Mirror symmetry 1/03/ / 41
