The unequal-mass three-loop banana integral

A bstract We compute the three-loop banana integral with four unequal masses in dimensional regularisation. This integral is associated to a family of K3 surfaces, thus representing an example for Feynman integrals with geometries beyond elliptic curves. We evaluate the integral by deriving an ε -factorised differential equation, for which we rely on the algorithm presented in a recent publication [1]. Equipping the space of differential forms in Baikov representation by a set of filtrations inspired by Hodge theory, we first obtain a differential equation with entries as Laurent polynomials in ε . Via a sequence of basis rotations we then remove any non- ε -factorising terms. This procedure is algorithmic and…
