Loop-number bound for motivic Feynman amplitudes

Let GG be a Feynman graph with hGh_G loops, and let IGI_G be a convergent Feynman amplitude. Write IGmI_G^{\mathfrak{m}} for its motivic version, and let its weight mean the motivic period weight.

Loop-number weight conjecture. The weight of IGmI_G^{\mathfrak{m}} is less than or equal to 4hG4h_G.

The conjecture would bound the weight in terms of the number of loops rather than the number of edges. In even space-time dimension DD, the analogous proposed bound is DhGDh_G; in the paper the discussion specializes to D=4D=4.
