Bananas: multi-edge graphs and their Feynman integrals

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-04-04 v2

Abstract

We consider multi-edge or banana graphs bnb_n on nn internal edges eie_i with different masses mim_i. We focus on the cut banana graphs (ΦR(bn))\Im(\Phi_R(b_n)) from which the full result ΦR(bn)\Phi_R(b_n) can be derived through dispersion. We give a recursive definition of (ΦR(bn))\Im(\Phi_R(b_n)) through iterated integrals. We discuss the structure of this iterated integral in detail. A discussion of accompanying differential equations, of monodromy and of a basis of master integrals is included.
