From modular graph forms to iterated integrals
摘要
Modular graph forms are a class of non-holomorphic modular forms that arise in the low-energy expansion of genus-one closed string amplitudes. In this work, we introduce a systematic procedure to convert lattice-sum representations of modular graph forms into iterated integrals of holomorphic Eisenstein series and provide a Mathematica package that implements all modular graph form topologies up to four vertices. To achieve this, we introduce specific tree-representations of modular graph forms. The presented method enables the conversion of the integrand of the four-graviton one-loop amplitude in Type II superstring theory at eighth order in the inverse string tension α′8, which we use to calculate the α′8ζ3ζ5 contribution to the analytic part of the amplitude.
