Functions in Scattering Amplitudes: From QFT to Gravitational Waves

Description

Multi-loop Feynman integrals for collider physics are known to contain intricate geometries and to evaluate to complicated transcendental numbers and functions. In this talk, I will investigate Feynman integrals contributing to the emission of gravitational waves up to fifth order in the post-Minkowskian expansion, identifying new geometries that lead to new transcendental functions.
