Method of regions for dual conformal integrals
Abstract
In this contribution, we present a recently introduced approach [BorkLeeOnishchenko2025] to the calculation of slightly off-shell dual conformal integrals based on the method of regions with regularization preserving dual conformal invariance (DCI). Unlike conventional dimensional regularization, which breaks DCI, our approach uses a combination of dimensional and analytic regularizations specifically designed to retain DCI throughout the calculation. Our approach drastically simplifies the computation of slightly off-shell dual conformal integrals. For the two-loop five-point DCI integrals we find that with DCI-preserving regularization, the contributions of all regions can be expressed in terms of -functions, resulting in a remarkably compact final expression in terms of logarithms of cross-ratios only. This is in sharp contrast to conventional approach which yields complex polylogarithmic expressions [Belitsky&Smirnov2025]. We argue that a similar approach might be useful also for non-DCI integrals.
