Abstract

We describe a family of finite, four-dimensional, L-loop Feynman integrals that involve weight-(L+1) hyperlogarithms integrated over (L−1)-dimensional elliptically fibered varieties we conjecture to be Calabi-Yau manifolds. At three loops, we identify the relevant K3 explicitly and we provide strong evidence that the four-loop integral involves a Calabi-Yau threefold. These integrals are necessary for the representation of amplitudes in many theories—from massless φ4 theory to integrable theories including maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the planar limit—a fact we demonstrate.
