On hyperlogarithms and Feynman integrals with divergences and many scales
Abstract
It was observed that hyperlogarithms provide a tool to carry out Feynman integrals. So far, this method has been applied successfully to finite single-scale processes. However, it can be employed in more general situations. We give examples of integrations of three- and four-point integrals in Schwinger parameters with non-trivial kinematic dependence, involving setups with off-shell external momenta and differently massive internal propagators. The full set of Feynman graphs admissible to parametric integration is not yet understood and we discuss some counterexamples to the crucial property of linear reducibility. Furthermore we clarify how divergent integrals can be approached in dimensional regularization with this algorithm.
