1 Period geometry of Calabi-Yau n-folds for Feynman integrals

This introduction aims at the pragmatic understanding of those differential and analytic properties of periods -- and chain integrals on Calabi-Yau n-folds that facilitate the evaluation of parametric higher loop Feynman integrals. In particular we exhibit the application of the Riemann bilinear relations, the Griffiths transversality, the Griffith reduction method, the Gauss Manin connection of GKZ systems as well as some aspects of mixed Hodge Structures and monodromy properties to the evaluation of simple classes of parametric higher loop Feynman integrals and amplitudes.

11 Cluster polylogarithms (Virtual)

I will start with a brief introduction to polylogarithms and the Goncharov Program. Next, I will define cluster polylogarithms associated with an arbitrary cluster algebra and describe their classification in type A. Then I will explain, how cluster polylogarithms can be used to prove an "unobstructed" part of the Goncharov depth conjecture.

15 Bethe Colloquium: Cluster integrable systems and the tame symbol

Cluster integrable systems discovered by Goncharov and Kenyon
is an approach to a large class of integrable systems starting with the
Poncelet porism discovered 200 years ago to modern spinning tops, Toda lattices and
in its quantum versions, which are not yet very well understood,
lattice models, Hofstadter's butterfly and many others.

The cluster approach to those systems interprets their phase spaces
either as the space of configurations of flags in an infinite
dimensional space or as the space of pairs (spectral curve, line bundle
on it). This dual approach allows to study the systems in detail and of
course to find their classical solutions.

However, the quantization of these systems does not go as smoothly as its
classical part. We will suggest a quasi-classical approach to those
systems using a tool borrowed from number theory namely the tame symbol.
In its simplest incarnation, tame symbol is a multiplicative analogue of
the residue. We use it to formulate the Bohr-Sommerfeld condition on the
Lagrangian subvarieties for the integrable systems, thus giving the
quasi-classical spectrum with the wave function expressed in terms of the dilogarithm.

If time permits we will speak about some elementary applications of the
tame symbol.

16 Motivic Galois theory for Feynman integrals via twisted cohomology (Virtual)

I will report on ongoing joint work with Francis Brown, Javier Fresán, and Matija Tapušković, in which we prove that dimensionally regularized Feynman integrals are closed under the action of the motivic Galois group, termwise in the epsilon expansion. This fits into a larger framework of motivic Galois theory for algebraic Mellin transforms, where the main protagonists are formal versions of « twisted » cohomology groups for algebraic varieties.
