Description

I will review recent developments using methods from intersection theory to find and study the canonical basis for Feynman integrals beyond multiple polylogarithms. In particular I will explain how the intersection matrix can "detect" a canonical basis and how this property can be used in practice to constrain the transcendental functions appearing in the solution. The focus will be kept on practical aspects and no prior knowledge of intersection theory is assumed.
