On one dimensional digamma and polygamma series related to the evaluation of Feynman diagrams
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider summations over digamma and polygamma functions, often with summands of the form (±1)nψ(n + p/q)/nr and (±1)nψ(m)(n + p/q)/nr, where m, p, q, and r are positive integers. We develop novel general integral representations and present explicit examples. Special cases of the sums reduce to known linear Euler sums. The sums of interest find application in quantum field theory, including evaluation of Feynman amplitudes.

Recent progress in analytical calculation of the multiple {inverse, binomial, harmonic} sums , related with ε-expansion of the hypergeometric function of one variable are discussed. 1. In the framework of the dimensional regular-ization [1] many Feynman diagrams can be written as hypergeometric series of several variables [2] (some of them can be equal to the rational numbers). This result can ...

We give an overview of the use of asymptotic expansions of gamma and related functions — ratio of gamma functions, powers, digamma and polygamma functions. The aim is to introduce a general theory which can unify various particular formulas for factorial functions and binomial coefficients. The connection with inequalities for gamma function is established. Also, a systematic approach to asympt...
متن کاملAlgebraic-Numerical Evaluation of Feynman Diagrams: Two-Loop Self-Energies
A recently proposed scheme for numerical evaluation of Feynman diagrams is extended to cover all two-loop two-point functions with arbitrary internal and external masses. The adopted algorithm is a modification of the one proposed by F. V. Tkachov and it is based on the so-called generalized Bernstein functional relation. On-shell derivatives of self-energies are also considered and their infra...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Small Momentum Expansion of Feynman Diagrams
An algorithm for obtaining the Taylor coefficients of an expansion of Feynman diagrams is proposed. It is based on recurrence relations which can be applied to the propagator as well as to the vertex diagrams. As an application, several coefficients of the Taylor series expansion for the two-loop non-planar vertex and two-loop propagator diagrams are calculated. The results of the numerical eva...
