On factorization hierarchy of equations for banana Feynman amplitudes

We present a review of the relations between various equations for maximal cut banana Feynman diagrams, i.e. amplitudes with propagators substituted with $\delta$-functions. We consider both equal and generic masses. There are three types of equation to consider: those in coordinate space, their Fourier transform and Picard-Fuchs equations originating from the parametric representation. First, we review the properties of the corresponding differential operators themselves, mainly their factorization properties at the equal mass locus and their form at special values of the dimension. Then we study the relation between the Fourier transform of the coordinate space equations and the Picard-Fuchs equations and show that they are related by factorization as well. The equations in question are the counterparts of the Virasoro constraints in the much-better studied theory of eigenvalue matrix models and are the first step towards building a full-fledged theory of Feynman integrals, which will reveal their hidden integrable structure.Comment: 13 page

Commutative subalgebras from Serre relations

We demonstrate that commutativity of numerous one-dimensional subalgebras in $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra, i.e. the existence of many non-trivial integrable systems described in recent arXiv:2303.05273 follows from the subset of relations in algebra known as Serre relations. No other relations are needed for commutativity. The Serre relations survive the deformation to the affine Yangian $Y(\hat{\mathfrak{gl}}_1)$, hence the commutative subalgebras do as well. A special case of the Yangian parameters corresponds to the $\beta$-deformation. The preservation of Serre relations can be thought of a selection rule for proper systems of commuting $\beta$-deformed Hamiltonians. On the contrary, commutativity in the extended family associated with ``rational (non-integer) rays" is {\it not} reduced to the Serre relations, and uses also other relations in the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra. Thus their $\beta$-deformation is less straightforward.Comment: 13 page

Commutative families in W∞W_\infty, integrable many-body systems and hypergeometric τ\tau-functions

We explain that the set of new integrable systems generalizing the Calogero family and implied by the study of WLZZ models, which was described in arXiv:2303.05273, is only the tip of the iceberg. We provide its wide generalization and explain that it is related to commutative subalgebras (Hamiltonians) of the $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra. We construct many such subalgebras and explain how they look in various representations. We start from the even simpler $w_\infty$ contraction, then proceed to the one-body representation in terms of differential operators on a circle, further generalizing to matrices and in their eigenvalues, in finally to the bosonic representation in terms of time-variables. Moreover, we explain that some of the subalgebras survive the $\beta$-deformation, an intermediate step from $W_{1+\infty}$ to the affine Yangian. The very explicit formulas for the corresponding Hamiltonians in these cases are provided. Integrable many-body systems generalizing the rational Calogero model arise in the representation in terms of eigenvalues. Each element of $W_{1+\infty}$ algebra gives rise to KP/Toda $\tau$-functions. The hidden symmetry given by the families of commuting Hamiltonians is in charge of the special, (skew) hypergeometric $\tau$-functions among these.Comment: 43 page

Superintegrability in

This paper is devoted to the phenomenon of superintegrability. This phenomenon is manifested in the existence of a formula for character averages, expressed through the same characters at special points and of its various generalization. In this paper we develop a method of proving such formulas from first principle from Virasoro constraints and W-representation. We apply it to prove the formula for the Jack functions averages – appropriate analogue of characters for the $$\beta$$-deformed Hermitian Gaussian matrix model. We also sketch the construction of W-operators from Calogero–Ruijsenaars Hamiltonians
