Abstract

We present a simplified variant of the integrand reduction algorithm for multiloop scattering amplitudes in d=42ϵd = 4 - 2\epsilon dimensions, which exploits the decomposition of the integration momenta in parallel and orthogonal subspaces, d=d+dd=d_\parallel+d_\perp, where dd_\parallel is the dimension of the space spanned by the legs of the diagrams. We discuss the advantages of a lighter polynomial division algorithm and how the orthogonality relations for Gegenbauer polynomilas can be suitably used for carrying out the integration of the irreducible monomials, which eliminates spurious integrals. Applications to one- and two-loop integrals, for arbitrary kinematics, are discussed.
