Some methods for the evaluation of complicated Feynman integrals

چکیده
We discuss a progress in calculations of Feynman integrals based on the Gegen-bauer Polynomial Technique and the Differential Equation Method. We demonstrate the results for a class of two-point two-loop diagrams and the evaluation of most complicated part of O(1/N 3) contributions to critical exponents of φ 4-theory. An illustration of the results obtained with help of above methods is considered. Last years there was an essential progress in calculations of Feynman integrals. It seems that most important results have been obtained for two-loop four-point massless Feynman diagrams: in on-shall case (see [1, 2]) and for a class of off-shall legs (see [3]). A review of the results can be found in [4]. Moreover, very recently results for a class of these diagrams have been obtained [5] in the case when some propagators have a nonzero mass. In the paper, I review two methods for calculations of Feynman diagrams. The first one, so-called the Gegenbauer Polynomial Method (see [6] and also [10]-[9]), has been used in particular for the evaluation of α s-corrections to the longitudinal structure function of deep inelastic scattering process. The structure of the results in Mellin moment space (see [10]-[13]) is very similar to the coefficients in [1, 5] of the Mellin-Barnes transforms for the above double-bokses. The coefficients are similar also to ones which have arised (see [14]-[16]) in expansions over the inversed mass for some two-loop two-point and three-point diagrams. A version of the second method, which is called as the Differential Equation Method [17]-[20], has been used in above calculations (see [2, 4] and references therein). An illustration of some results which have been obtained with help of these two methods is considered. The additional information about a modern progress in calculations of Feynman integrals can be found, for example, also in recent articles [21, 22]. Fifteen years ago the method based on the expansion of propagators in Gegenbauer series (see [23]) has been introduced in [6, 7]. One has shown [6, 8] that by this method the analytical evaluation of counterterms in the minimal subtraction scheme at the 4-loop 1

Some recent results on evaluating Feynman integrals
where ki, i = 1, . . . , h, are loop momenta and the denominators Er are either quadratic of linear with respect to ki and external momenta q1, . . . , qN . By default, the integrals are dimensionally regularized with d = 4− 2ǫ. If the number of Feynman integrals needed for a given calculation is small or/and they are simple, one evaluates, by some methods, every scalar Feynman integral of the ...

In this paper, we develop two piecewise polynomial methods for the numerical evaluation of Cauchy Principal Value integrals of oscillatory kind. The two piecewisepolynomial quadratures are compact, easy to implement, and are numerically stable. Two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the two rules developed, The convergence of the two schemes is proved and some error bounds obtai...
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...

We discuss a progress in calculation of Feynman integrals which has been done with help of the differential equation method and demonstrate the results for a class of two-point two-loop diagrams. The idea of the differential equation method (DEM) (see [1,2]): to apply the integration by parts procedure [3] to an internal n-point subgraph of a complicated Feynman diagram and later to represent n...
