Abstract:
We study geometries occurring in Feynman integrals that contribute to the scattering of black holes in the post-Minkowskian (PM) expansion. These geometries become relevant to gravitational-wave production from binary mergers through the classical conservative potential. At 4PM, a K3 surface is known to occur in a three-loop integral, leading to elliptic integrals in the result. In this Letter, we identify a Calabi-Yau threefold in a four-loop integral, contributing at 5PM. The presence of this Calabi-Yau geometry indicates that completely new functions occur in the full analytical results.

The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
