چکیده
We report about recent progress in computing four-loop massive correlators. The expansion of these correlators in the external momentum leads to vacuum integrals. The calculation of these vacuum integrals can be used to determine Taylor expansion coefficients of the vacuum polarization function and decoupling functions in pertur-bative Quantum chromodynamics. New results at four-loop order for the lowest Taylor expansion coefficient of the vacuum polarization function and for the decoupling relation are presented.

0 Four - Point Functions of Chiral Primary Operators in N = 4 Sym
We discuss recent progress in the determination of correlators of chiral primary operators in N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills theory, based on a combination of super-conformal covariance arguments in N = 2 harmonic superspace, and Intriligator's insertion formula. Applying this technique to the calculation of the supercurrent four-point function we obtain a compact and explicit result for its three-loop...

I review the recent progress in the evaluation of two-loop massive QCD amplitudes necessary for the description of hadronic scattering processes at the LHC. I put a special emphasis on the case of top-quark final states.
متن کاملG / G models as the strong coupling limit of topologically massive gauge theory
We show that the problem of computing the vacuum expectation values of gauge invariant operators in the strong coupling limit of topologically massive gauge theory is equivalent to the problem of computing similar operators in the G k /G model where k is the integer coefficient of the Chern-Simons term. The G k /G model is a topological field theory and many correlators can be computed analytic...
