Abstract

Closed form expressions are proposed for the Feynman integral ID,m(p,q)=dmy(2π)mdDx(2π)D1(xp/2)2+(yq/2)41(x+p/2)2+(y+q/2)4 I_{D, m}(p,q) = \int\frac{d^my}{(2\pi)^m}\int\frac{d^Dx}{(2\pi)^D} \frac1{(x-p/2)^2+(y-q/2)^4} \frac1{(x+p/2)^2+(y+q/2)^4} over d=D+md=D+m dimensional space with (x,y),(p,q)RDRm(x,y),\,(p,q)\in \mathbb R^D \oplus \mathbb R^m, in the special case D=1D=1. We show that I1,m(p,q)I_{1,m}(p,q) can be expressed in different forms involving real and imaginary parts of the complex variable Gauss hypergeometric function 2F1_2F_1, as well as generalized hypergeometric 2F2_2F_2 and 3F2_3F_2, Horn H4H_4 and Appell F2F_2 functions. Several interesting relations are derived between the real and imaginary parts of 2F1_2F_1 and the function H4H_4.
