A Multiple Commutator Formula for the Sum of Feynman Diagrams

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v1

Abstract

In the presence of a large parameter, such as mass or energy, leading behavior of individual Feynman diagrams often get cancelled in the sum. This is known to happen in large-NcN_c QCD in the presence of a baryon, and also in the case of high-energy electron-electron as well as quark-quark scatterings. We present an exact combinatorial formula, involving multiple commutators of the vertices, which can be used to compute such cancellations. It is a non-abelian generalization of the eikonal formula, and will be applied in subsequent publications to study the consistency of large-NcN_c QCD involving baryons, as well as high-energy quark-quark scattering in ordinary QCD.
