| Popis: | Twisted period integrals are ubiquitous in theoretical physics and mathematics, where they inhabit a finite-dimensional vector space governed by an inner product known as the intersection number. In this work, we uncover the associated tensor structures of intersection numbers and integrate them with the fibration method to develop a novel and efficient evaluation scheme. Companion matrices allow us to cast the computation of the intersection numbers in terms of a matrix operator calculus within the ambient tensor space. Our algorithm has been successfully applied to the decomposition of two-loop five-point massless functions, representing a significant advancement for the direct projection of Feynman integrals to master integrals via intersection numbers.
