Abstract

We study vector spaces associated to a family of generalized Euler integrals. Their dimension is given by the Euler characteristic of a very affine variety. Motivated by Feynman integrals from particle physics, this has been investigated using tools from homological algebra and the theory of $D$-modules. We present an overview and uncover new relations between these approaches. We also provide new algorithmic tools.
