Periods and Feynman integrals

چکیده
We consider multi-loop integrals in dimensional regularisation and the corresponding Laurent series. We study the integral in the Euclidean region and where all ratios of invariants and masses have rational values. We prove that in this case all coefficients of the Laurent series are periods.

On the Periods of Some Feynman Integrals
We define some families of graphs and show that their graph hypersurfaces relative to coordinate simplices define mixed Tate motives. We show that the corresponding Feynman integrals evaluate to multiple zetas. Let G be a connected graph. To each edge e ∈ EG associate a variable αe, known as a Schwinger parameter, and consider the graph polynomial
متن کاملBlowing up Feynman integrals
In this talk we discuss sector decomposition. This is a method to disentangle overlapping singularities through a sequence of blow-ups. We report on an open-source implementation of this algorithm to compute numerically the Laurent expansion of divergent multi-loop integrals. We also show how this method can be used to prove a theorem which relates the coefficients of the Laurent series of dime...
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.

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...
