Abstract

Graphical functions are special position space Feynman integrals, which can be used to calculate Feynman periods and one- or two-scale processes at high loop orders. With graphical functions, renormalization constants have been calculated to loop orders seven and eight in four-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory and to order five in six-dimensional $\phi^3$ theory. In this article we present the theory of graphical functions in even dimensions $\geq 4$ with detailed reviews of known properties and full proofs whenever possible.
