Four-loop cusp anomalous dimension in QED
Abstract
The 4-loop and 5-loop terms in the HQET field anomalous dimension are calculated analytically (the 4-loop one agrees with the recent numerical result [arXiv:1801.08292]). The 4-loop and 5-loop terms in the cusp anomalous dimension are calculated analytically, exactly in (the asymptotics of the 4-loop one agrees with the recent numerical result [arXiv:1707.08315]). Combining these results with the recent 4-loop contributions to and to the small- expansion of up to [arXiv:1708.01221] (recently extended to [arXiv:1807.05145]) we now have the complete analytical 4-loop result for the Bloch--Nordsieck field anomalous dimension in QED, and the small- expansion of the 4-loop QED cusp anomalous dimension up to .
