Truncated cluster algebras and Feynman integrals with algebraic letters

Song He,

Abstract: We propose that the symbol alphabet for classes of planar, dual-conformalinvariant Feynman integrals can be obtained as truncated cluster algebras purely from their kinematics, which correspond to boundaries of (compactifications of) G + (4, n)/T for the n-particle massless kinematics. For one-, two-, three-mass-easy hexagon kinematics with n = 7, 8, 9, we find finite cluster algebras D 4 , D 5 and D 6 respectively, in accordance with previous result on alphabets of these integrals. As the main example, we con… Show more

“…For cluster configuration spaces, this may be related to the possible meaning of cluster string integrals: for D n case, the stringy integral has not only correct α → 0 limit as one-loop planar φ 3 integrand, but also correct factorization at massless poles for finite α ; it would be highly desirable if we can understand better such stringy integrals using these z-variables. As we have seen in [9,27,28], the letters of D n using z-variables (for n ≤ 6) have nicely appeared in the symbol of "ladder-type" Feynman integrals to all loops, where the z's are nothing but all the last entries. This has opened up another direction for studying possible physical meanings of such worldsheet-like variables.…”

“…It would be interesting to compare the topological properties of their configuration spaces including the Euler characteristic [14,15,[44][45][46]), their ABHY realizations and even applications to the symbol alphabets that appear in higher-loop integrals of SYM etc. [13,28,47,48].…”

“…dp (1,4,5,8), which have been computed up to L = 4 with 25 rational letters and 5 independent algebraic letters [59]. First of all, since the algebraic letters only contain the square root as that of four-mass box I 2468 , which only involve one pair of overlapping channels x 2 26 and x 2 48 as above.…”

“…The knowledge of alphabet and more refined information can be used for bootstrapping Feynman integrals [50,57] (see also [27]). In [58,59], we have identified (truncated) cluster algebras for the alphabets of a class of finite, dual conformal invariant (DCI) [60,61] Feynman integrals to high loops, based on recently-proposed Wilson-loop d log representation [62,63]. For ladder integrals with possible "chiral pentagons" on one or both ends (without any square roots), we find a sequence of cluster algebras D 2 , D 3 , • • • , D 6 for their alphabets, depending on n and the kinematic configurations; for cases with square root, such as the n = 8 double-penta ladder integrals, we find a truncated affine D 4 cluster algebra which (minimally) contain 25 rational letters and 5 algebraic ones.…”

“…There has been significant progress in computing and studying finite, conformal Feynman integrals contributing to amplitudes [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Remarkably, cluster algebras and adjacency properties seem to apply to individual Feynman integrals in N = 4 SYM (for n = 6, 7 [14,30], as well as n ≥ 8 [31][32][33]). Remarkably, these structures have also been found for more general Feynman integrals [34] and for other quantities such as form factors [35,36].…”
