New relationships between Feynman integrals

چکیده
New types of relationships between Feynman integrals are presented. It is shown that Feynman integrals satisfy functional equations connecting integrals with different values of scalar invariants and masses. A method is proposed for obtaining such relations. The derivation of functional equations for one-loop propagatorand vertex type integrals is given. It is shown that a propagator type integral can be written as a sum of two integrals with modified scalar invariants and one propagator massless. The vertex type integral can be written as a sum over vertex integrals with all but one propagator massless and one external momentum squared equal to zero. It is demonstrated that the functional equations can be used for the analytic continuation of Feynman integrals to different kinematic domains. PACS numbers: 02.30.Gp, 02.30.Ks, 12.20.Ds, 12.38.Bx

Connection between Feynman integrals having different values of the space-time dimension.
A systematic algorithm for obtaining recurrence relations for dimensionally regularized Feynman integrals w.r.t. the space-time dimension d is proposed. The relation between d and d − 2 dimensional integrals is given in terms of a differential operator for which an explicit formula can be obtained for each Feynman diagram. We show how the method works for one-, two-and three-loop integrals. The...
متن کاملFeynman integrals and multiple polylogarithms
In this talk I review the connections between Feynman integrals and multiple polylogarithms. After an introductory section on loop integrals I discuss the Mellin-Barnes transformation and shuffle algebras. In a subsequent section multiple polylogarithms are introduced. Finally, I discuss how certain Feynman integrals evaluate to multiple polylogarithms.

We suggest a mathematical definition of the notion of master integrals and present a brief review of algorithmic methods to solve reduction problems for Feynman integrals based on integration by parts relations. In particular, we discuss a recently suggested reduction algorithm which uses Gröbner bases. New results obtained with its help for a family of three-loop Feynman integrals are outlined.

We present a new algorithm for the reduction of one-loop tensor Feynman integrals within the framework of the XLOOPS project, covering both mathematical and programming aspects. The new algorithm supplies a clean way to reduce the one-loop one-, two-and three-point Feynman integrals with arbitrary tensor rank and powers of the propagators to a basis of simple integrals. We also present a new me...
متن کاملEvaluating multiloop Feynman integrals by Mellin-Barnes representation
When calculating physical quantities that describe a given process one needs to evaluate a lot of Feynman integrals. After a tensor reduction based on some projectors (see, e.g., [1]) a given Feynman graph generates various scalar Feynman integrals that have the same structure of the integrand with various distributions of powers of propagators. A straightforward analytical strategy is to evalu...
