To each such hypergeometric system there is an associated toric ideal, we prove that the latter has the Cohen-Macaulay property for two large families of Feynman integrals. This implies, for example, that both the number of independent solutions and dynamical singularities are independent of space-time dimension and generalized propagator powers. Furthermore, in particular, it means that the process of finding a series representation of these integrals is fully algorithmic.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-03T10:58:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "feynman integrals", "cohen-macaulay property", "hypergeometric system", "computational tools", "series representation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
