...lar to the Kawai-Lewellen-Tye relations connecting open- and closed-string amplitudes [45] (See [46, 47] for related ideas)? We have seen the YM scattering form as pushforward of the Pfaffian form on the worldsheet, which is unique gauge invariant under the assumptions provided....

...nsion in the parameter of the Feynman i-prescription. From a more formal side, a very promising alternative to IBP reduction has been suggested based on the intersection theory of dierential forms [518, 519, 500, 520{523], for which the Baikov representation [524, 525] is particularly suited. In this approach, a Feynman integral written in terms of master integrals Mias I= X i ciMi (11) is considered as a vector in a ...

...The overall sign can be fixed by a more careful computations and it turns out to depend on the relative winding number w(α|β) 12An alternative—but equivalent—proof of the equality between the low-energy limit of closed-string amplitudes, the CHY formalism, and the intersection numbers in the logarithmic case was given in [8] and can be summarized as follows....

...The available case of intersection numbers of dlog n-forms [78, 79] is not sufficient for Feynman integrals, which belong to the wider class of generic rational n-forms....

...In the literature, the case of intersection numbers of dlog n-forms has been understood [78, 79], but Feynman integrals belong to the wider class of generic rational n-forms....

...We refer the interested reader to [80, 83] for review of twisted (co)homologies and their intersection theory, as well as [1, 79, 84, 85] and [86, 87] for some recent applications of these ideas to physics....
