A Feynman graph is a graph suitable to be a Feynman diagram in a particular application of quantum field theory.

(The most common use is when each field has quanta (particles) associated with it - as the quantum of the electromagnetic field is a photon.

The Feynman-Kac formula, named after Richard Feynman and Mark Kac, establishes a link between partial differential equations (PDEs) and stochastic processes. It offers a method of solving certain PDEs by simulating random paths of a stochastic process.

path integral formulation of quantum mechanics is a description of quantum theory which generalizes the action principle of classical mechanics. It replaces the classical notion of a single, unique history for a system with a sum, or functional integral, over an infinity of

Feynman parametrization is a technique for evaluating loop integrals which arise from Feynman diagrams with one or more loops. However, it is sometimes useful in integration in areas of pure mathematics too.

In physics, a one-loop Feynman diagram is a connected Feynman diagram with only one cycle (unicyclic). Such a diagram can be obtained from a tree diagram by adding an edge connecting two internal vertices (of course, this is only possible in general if we ignore the vertex matching
