Harmonic Polylogarithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
The harmonic polylogarithms (hpl’s) are introduced. They are a generalization of Nielsen’s polylogarithms, satisfying a product algebra (the product of two hpl’s is in turn a combination of hpl’s) and forming a set closed under the transformation of the arguments x = 1/z and x = (1−t)/(1+t). The coefficients of their expansions and their Mellin transforms are harmonic sums. AMS(1991) subject classification: Primary 33B99, 33E99, Secondary 11Y60

Harmonic polylogarithms for massive Bhabha scattering
Oneand two-dimensional harmonic polylogarithms, HPLs and GPLs, appear in calculations of multi-loop integrals. We discuss them in the context of analytical solutions for two-loop master integrals in the case of massive Bhabha scattering in QED. For the GPLs we discuss analytical representations, conformal transformations, and also their transformations corresponding to relations between master ...
متن کاملSome results on q-harmonic number sums
In this paper, we establish some relations involving q-Euler type sums, q-harmonic numbers and q-polylogarithms. Then, using the relations obtained with the help of q-analog of partial fraction decomposition formula, we develop new closed form representations of sums of q-harmonic numbers and reciprocal q-binomial coefficients. Moreover, we give explicit formulas for several classes of q-harmon...
متن کاملTwo - Loop Master Integrals for γ ∗ → 3 Jets : The planar topologies
The calculation of the two-loop corrections to the three jet production rate and to event shapes in electron-positron annihilation requires the computation of a number of up to now unknown two-loop four-point master integrals with one off-shell and three on-shell legs. In this paper, we compute those master integrals which correspond to planar topologies by solving differential equations in the...
متن کاملExtension of HPL to complex arguments
In this paper we describe the extension of the Mathematica package HPL to treat harmonic polylogarithms of complex arguments. The harmonic polylogarithms have been introduced by Remiddi and Vermaseren [1] and have many applications in high energy particle physics.
متن کاملHarmonic Sums and Polylogarithms Generated by Cyclotomic Polynomials
The computation of Feynman integrals in massive higher order perturbative calculations in renormalizable Quantum Field Theories requires extensions of multiply nested harmonic sums, which can be generated as real representations by Mellin transforms of Poincaré– iterated integrals including denominators of higher cyclotomic polynomials. We derive the cyclotomic harmonic polylogarithms and harmo...
