We show that direct Feynman-parametric loop integration is possible for a large class of planar multi-loop integrals. Much of this follows from the existence of manifestly dual-conformal Feynman-parametric representations of planar loop integrals, and the fact that many of the algebraic roots associated with (e.g. Landau) leading singularities are automatically rationalized in momentum-twistor space---facilitating direct integration via partial fractioning. We describe how momentum twistors may be chosen non-redundantly to parameterize particular integrals, and how strategic choices of coordinates can be used to expose kinematic limits of interest. We illustrate the power of these ideas with many concrete cases studied through four loops and involving as many as eight particles. Detailed examples are included as ancillary files to this works submission to the arXiv.

In the computation of Feynman integrals which evaluate to multiple polylogarithms one encounters quite often square roots. To express the Feynman integral in terms of multiple polylogarithms, one seeks a transformation of variables, which rationalizes the square roots. In this paper, we give an algorithm for rationalizing roots. The algorithm is applicable whenever the algebraic hypersurface associated with the root has a point of multiplicity $(d-1)$, where $d$ is the degree of the algebraic hypersurface. We show that one can use the algorithm iteratively to rationalize multiple roots simultaneously. Several examples from high energy physics are discussed.
In this manuscript, which is to appear in the proceedings of the conference MathemAmplitude 2019 in Padova, Italy, we provide an overview of the module intersection method for the the integration-by-parts (IBP) reduction of multi-loop Feynman integrals. The module intersection method, based on computational algebraic geometry, is a highly efficient way of getting IBP relations without double propagator or with a bound on the highest propagator degree. In this manner, trimmed IBP systems which are much shorter than the traditional ones can be obtained. We apply the modern, Petri net based, workflow management system GPI-Space in combination with the computer algebra system Singular to solve the trimmed IBP system via interpolation and efficient parallelization. We show, in particular, how to use the new plugin feature of GPI-Space to manage a global state of the computation and to efficiently handle mutable data. Moreover, a Mathematica interface to generate IBPs with restricted propagator degree, which is based on module intersection, is presented in this review.
We reproduce the two-loop seven-point remainder function in planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory by direct integration of conformally-regulated chiral integrands. The remainder function is obtained as part of the two-loop logarithm of the MHV amplitude, the regularized form of which we compute directly in this scheme. We compare the scheme-dependent anomalous dimensions and related quantities in the conformal regulator with those found for the Higgs regulator.
In this paper, we show that with the state-of-art module intersection IBP reduction method and our improved Leinartas algorithm, IBP relations for very complicated Feynman integrals can be solved and the analytic reduction coefficients can be dramatically simplified. We develop a large scale parallel implementation of our improved Leinartas algorithm, based on the textsc{Singular}/textsc{GPI-Space} framework. We demonstrate our method by the reduction of two-loop five-point Feynman integrals with degree-five numerators, with a simple and sparse IBP system. The analytic reduction result is then greatly simplified by our improved Leinartas algorithm to a usable form, with a compression ratio of two order of magnitudes. We further discover that the compression ratio increases with the complexity of the Feynman integrals.
In this paper we develop further and refine the method of differential equations for computing Feynman integrals. In particular, we show that an additional iterative structure emerges for finite loop integrals. As a concrete non-trivial example we study planar master integrals of light-by-light scattering to three loops, and derive analytic results for all values of the Mandelstam variables $s$ and $t$ and the mass $m$. We start with a recent proposal for defining a basis of loop integrals having uniform transcendental weight properties and use this approach to compute all planar two-loop master integrals in dimensional regularization. We then show how this approach can be further simplified when computing finite loop integrals. This allows us to discuss precisely the subset of integrals that are relevant to the problem. We find that this leads to a block triangular structure of the differential equations, where the blocks correspond to integrals of different weight. We explain how this block triangular form is found in an algorithmic way. Another advantage of working in four dimensions is that integrals of different loop orders are interconnected and can be seamlessly discussed within the same formalism. We use this method to compute all finite master integrals needed up to three loops. Finally, we remark that all integrals have simple Mandelstam representations.
