Dispersive calculation of the massless multi-loop sunrise diagram

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v3

Abstract

The massless sunrise diagram with an arbitrary number of loops is calculated in a simple but formal manner. The result is then verified by rigorous mathematical treatment. Pitfalls in the calculation with distributions are highlighted and explained. The result displays the high energy behaviour of the massive sunrise diagrams, whose calculation is involved already for the two-loop case.
