The Sinc Function Representation and Three-Loop Master Diagrams
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 of 1 part in 10 for these diagrams and with longer runs we found results better than 1 part in 10. Finally, this paper extends the Sinc function representation to diagrams containing massless propagators.

Fermions, Gauge Theories, and the Sinc Function Representation for Feynman Diagrams
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 represe...
متن کاملMaster Integrals For Massless Two-Loop Vertex Diagrams With Three Offshell Legs
We compute the master integrals for massless two-loop vertex graphs with three offshell legs. These master integrals are relevant for the QCD corrections to H → V V ∗ (where V = W , Z) and for two-loop studies of the triple gluon (and quark-gluon) vertex. We employ the differential equation technique to provide series expansions in ǫ for the various master integrals. The results are analytic an...
متن کاملFeynman diagrams to three loops in three dimensional field theory
The two point integrals contributing to the self energy of a particle in a three dimensional quantum field theory are calculated to two loop order in perturbation theory as well as the vacuum ones contributing to the effective potential to three loop order. For almost every integral an expression in terms of elementary and dilogarithm functions is obtained. For two integrals, the master integra...
متن کاملKnots and Numbers in φ 4 Theory to 7 Loops and Beyond
We evaluate all the primitive divergences contributing to the 7–loop β–function of φ4 theory, i.e. all 59 diagrams that are free of subdivergences and hence give scheme– independent contributions. Guided by the association of diagrams with knots, we obtain analytical results for 56 diagrams. The remaining three diagrams, associated with the knots 10124, 10139, and 10152, are evaluated numerical...
متن کاملThree-loop results in HQET
Two-loop HQET propagator diagrams were reduced [1] to two master integrals, using integration by parts [2] identities. There are 10 generic topologies of three-loop HQET propagator diagrams (Fig. 1). They can be reduced [3], using integration by parts relations, to 8 master integrals (Fig. 2). The algorithm has been constructed by hand, and implemented as a REDUCE package Grinder [3]. It is ana...
