Computing periods of rational integrals
نویسنده
چکیده
— A period of a rational integral is the result of integrating, with respect to one or several variables, a rational function over a closed path. This work focuses particularly on periods depending on a parameter: in this case the period under consideration satisfies a linear differential equation, the Picard-Fuchs equation. I give a reduction algorithm that extends the Griffiths-Dwork reduction and apply it to the computation of Picard-Fuchs equations. The resulting algorithm is elementary and has been successfully applied to problems that were previously out of reach.

Periods and Feynman integrals
We consider multi-loop integrals in dimensional regularisation and the corresponding Laurent series. We study the integral in the Euclidean region and where all ratios of invariants and masses have rational values. We prove that in this case all coefficients of the Laurent series are periods.
متن کاملStandard compact periods for Eisenstein series
When o has larger class number, linear combinations of CM-point values corresponding to the ideal classes yield the corresponding ratio. This example was understood in the 19th century, and is the simplest in well-known families of special values and periods of Eisenstein series. The next case in order of increasing complexity is that of integrals of the same Es along hyperbolic geodesics in H ...
متن کاملEfficient Algorithms for Computing Rational First Integrals and Darboux Polynomials of Planar Polynomial Vector Fields
We present fast algorithms for computing rational first integrals with bounded degree of a planar polynomial vector field. Our approach builds upon a method proposed by Ferragut and Giacomini ([FG10]) whose main ingredients are the calculation of a power series solution of a first order differential equation and the reconstruction of a bivariate polynomial annihilating this power series. We pro...
متن کاملComputing Eigenvalues of Real Symmetric Matrices with Rational Filters in Real Arithmetic
Powerful algorithms have recently been proposed for computing eigenvalues of large matrices by methods related to contour integrals; best known are the works of Sakurai and coauthors and Polizzi and coauthors. Even if the matrices are real symmetric, most such methods rely on complex arithmetic, leading to expensive linear systems to solve. An appealing technique for overcoming this starts from...
متن کاملComputing Periods of Hypersurfaces
We give an algorithm to compute the periods of smooth projective hypersurfaces of any dimension. This is an improvement over existing algorithms which could only compute the periods of plane curves. Our algorithm reduces the evaluation of period integrals to an initial value problem for ordinary differential equations of Picard–Fuchs type. In this way, the periods can be computed to extreme-pre...
