Motives Associated to Sums of Graphs

چکیده
In quantum field theory, the path integral is interpreted perturbatively as a sum indexed by graphs. The coefficient (Feynman amplitude) associated to a graph Γ is a period associated to the motive given by the complement of a certain hypersurface XΓ in projective space. Based on considerable numerical evidence, Broadhurst and Kreimer suggested [4] that the Feynman amplitudes should be sums of multizeta numbers. On the other hand, Belkale and Brosnan [2] showed that the motives of the XΓ were not in general mixed Tate. A recent paper of Aluffi and Marcolli [1] studied the images [XΓ] of graph hypersurfaces in the Grothendieck ring K0(V ark) of varieties over a field k. Let Z[Ak] ⊂ K0(V ark) be the subring generated by 1 = [Spec k] and [Ak]. It follows from [2] that [XΓ] 6∈ Z[Ak] for many graphs Γ. Let n ≥ 3 be an integer. In this note we consider a sum Sn ∈ K0(V ark) of [XΓ] over all connected graphs Γ with n vertices, no multiple edges, and no tadpoles (edges with just one vertex). (There are some subtleties here. Each graph Γ appears with multiplicity n!/|Aut(Γ)|. For a precise definition of Sn see (5.1) below.) Our main result is

متن کاملA Note on Hodge Structures Associated to Graphs
Feynman amplitudes, which play a central role in perturbative quantum field theory, are algebro-geometric periods associated to graphs. These periods have been investigated by Broadhurst and Kreimer (see [4] and the references cited there) and shown for many special graphs to be sums of multiple zeta values. On the other hand, Belkale and Brosnan have shown [2] that the related graph motives ar...
متن کاملMotives and Mirror Symmetry for Calabi–yau Orbifolds
We consider certain families of Calabi–Yau orbifolds and their mirror partners constructed from Fermat hypersurfaces in weighted projective 4-spaces. Our focus is the topological mirror symmetry. There are at least three known ingredients to describe the topological mirror symmetry, namely, integral vertices in reflexive polytopes, monomials in graded polynomial rings (with some group actions),...

متن کاملINDEPENDENT SETS OF SOME GRAPHS ASSOCIATED TO COMMUTATIVE RINGS
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A set $Ssubseteq V$ isindependent set of $G$, if no two vertices of $S$ are adjacent.The independence number $alpha(G)$ is the size of a maximumindependent set in the graph. In this paper we study and characterize the independent sets ofthe zero-divisor graph $Gamma(R)$ and ideal-based zero-divisor graph $Gamma_I(R)$of a commutative ring $R$.
