Quantum fields, periods and algebraic geometry
Abstract
We discuss how basic notions of graph theory and associated graph polynomials define questions for algebraic geometry, with an emphasis given to an analysis of the structure of Feynman rules as determined by those graph polynomials as well as algebraic structures of graphs. In particular, we discuss the appearance of renormalization scheme independent periods in quantum field theory.
