abstract
We study the sunset Feynman integral defined as the scalar two-point self-energy at two-loop order in a two dimensional space-time. We firstly compute the Feynman integral, for arbitrary internal masses, in terms of the regulator of a class in the motivic cohomology of a 1-parameter family of open elliptic curves. Using an Hodge theoretic (B-model) approach, we show that the integral is given by a sum of elliptic dilogarithms evaluated at the divisors determined by the punctures. Secondly we associate to the sunset elliptic curve a local non-compact Calabi-Yau 3-fold, obtained as a limit of elliptically fibered compact Calabi-Yau 3-folds. By considering the limiting mixed Hodge structure of the Batyrev dual A-model, we arrive at an expression for the sunset Feynman integral in terms of the local Gromov-Witten prepotential of the del Pezzo surface of degree 6. This expression is obtained by proving a strong form of local mirror symmetry which identifies this prepotential with the second regulator period of the motivic cohomology class.

Discrete symmetries of Feynman integral families correspond to permutations of Feynman parameters and induce group actions on twisted cohomology whose characters are Euler characteristics of fixed-point sets, yielding a formula for master integral counts in symmetric banana diagrams up to four loops
Quasi-finite Feynman integrals produce sparse Fano and reflexive polytopes that encode degenerate Calabi-Yau varieties and link to del Pezzo surfaces, K3 surfaces, and Calabi-Yau threefolds.
Proposes motivic coaction formulae for genus-one iterated integrals over holomorphic Eisenstein series using zeta generators, verifies expected coaction properties, and deduces f-alphabet decompositions of multiple modular values.
An extension of the Griffiths-Dwork algorithm produces twisted Picard-Fuchs operators for hypergeometric, elliptic, and Calabi-Yau motives from families of Feynman integrals.
The extra-involution mechanism for genus drop is a special case of unramified double covering between curves, which explains genus drops with non-hyperelliptic to hyperelliptic transitions in certain three-loop Feynman integrals.
