# Feynman integrals in algebraic geometry

In quantum field theory, multi-loop Feynman integrals are basic ingredients of calculating high order corrections. Recently, I have come across the paper A Feynman integral via higher normal functions. It seems that Feynman integrals have some relations to algebraic geometry. Since I am physics-oriented, I don't know much about algebraic geometry. Could anyone provide some explanations or expository articles on this topic? Thanks a lot!

This is somewhat of a borderline question for the forum. Generally "tell me about stuff" requests don't do very well. It might make sense to start a meta thread where you could refine your question beforehand.

I think that Ryan has a point, although I'd be very interested in what answers show up!

You should look at the book "Feynman motives" by Marcolli.

@DanPetersen: To me, having seen your MO activity, it would be great to read any comments you could give on the subject.

@user125763 I'm flattered, but I don't think I have much useful to say about this circle of ideas. (And the question is in any case closed!)
