Fermions, Gauge Theories, and the Sinc Function Representation for Feynman Diagrams
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend our new approach for numeric evaluation of Feynman diagrams to integrals that include fermionic and vector propagators. In this initial discussion we begin by deriving the Sinc function representation for the propagators of spin1 2 and spin-1 fields and exploring their properties. We show that the attributes of the spin-0 propagator which allowed us to derive the Sinc function representation for scalar field Feynman integrals are shared by fields with non-zero spin. We then investigate the application of the Sinc function representation to simple QED diagrams, including first order corrections to the propagators and the vertex. BROWN-HET-1125

The Sinc Function Representation and Three-Loop Master Diagrams
We test the Sinc function representation, a novel method for numerically evaluating Feynman diagrams, by using it to evaluate the three-loop master diagrams. Analytical results have been obtained for all these diagrams, and we find excellent agreement between our calculations and the exact values. The Sinc function representation converges rapidly, and it is straightforward to obtain accuracies...
متن کاملSIMPLIFYING ALGEBRA IN FEYNMAN GRAPHS Part I: Spinors
We present a general formalism for simplifying manipulations of spin indices of massless and massive spinors and vectors in Feynman diagrams. The formalism is based on covariantly reducing the number of field components in the action in favor of chiral/self-dual fields. In this paper we concentrate on calculational simplifications involving fermions in gauge theories by eliminating half of the ...
متن کاملGauge Invariant Classes of Feynman Diagrams and Applications for Calculations
In theories like SM or MSSM with a complex gauge group structure the complete set of Feynman diagrams contributed to a particular physics process can be splited to exact gauge invariant subsets. Arguments and examples given in the review demonstrate that in many cases computations and analysis of the gauge invariant subsets are important. The increase of collider energies requires computations ...
متن کاملFast Evaluation of Feynman Diagrams
We develop a new representation for the integrals associated with Feynman diagrams. This leads directly to a novel method for the numerical evaluation of these integrals, which avoids the use of Monte Carlo techniques. Our approach is based on based on the theory of generalized sinc (sin(x)/x) functions, from which we derive an approximation to the propagator that is expressed as an infinite su...
