Traintracks All the Way Down

We study the class of planar Feynman integrals that can be constructed by sequentially intersecting traintrack diagrams without forming a closed traintrack loop. After describing how to derive a $2L$-fold integral representation of any $L$-loop diagram in this class, we provide evidence that their l...

description We study the class of planar Feynman integrals that can be constructed by sequentially intersecting traintrack diagrams without forming a closed traintrack loop. After describing how to derive a $2L$-fold integral representation of any $L$-loop diagram in this class, we provide evidence that their leading singularities always give rise to integrals over $(L{-}1)$-dimensional varieties for generic external momenta, which for certain graphs we can identify as Calabi-Yau $(L{-}1)$-folds. We then show that these diagrams possess an interesting nested structure, due to the large number of second-order differential operators that map them to (products of) lower-loop integrals of the same type.
