摘要
We give combinatorial criteria for predicting the transcendental weight of Feynman integrals of certain graphs in phi(4) theory. By studying spanning forest polynomials, we obtain operations on graphs which are weight-preserving, and a list of subgraphs which induce a drop in the transcendental weight.
