Integration-by-parts identities from the viewpoint of differential geometry
Abstract
We present a new method to construct integration-by-part (IBP) identities from the viewpoint of differential geometry. Vectors for generating IBP identities are reformulated as differential forms, via Poincar\'e duality. Using the tools of differential geometry and commutative algebra, we can efficiently find differential forms which generate on-shell IBP relation without doubled propagator. Various D=4 two-loop examples are presented.
