Abstract

Extending an argument of [Baikov:2010hf] for the case of 5-loop massless propagators we prove a host of new exact model-independent relations between contributions proportional to odd and even zetas in generic \MSbar\ anomalous dimensions as well as in generic massless correlators. In particular, we find a new remarkable connection between coefficients in front of ζ3\zeta_3 and ζ4\zeta_4 in the 4-loop and 5-loop contributions to the QCD β\beta-function respectively. It leads to a natural explanation of a simple mechanics behind mysterious cancellations of the π\pi-dependent terms in one-scale Renormalization Group (RG) invariant Euclidian quantities recently discovered in \cite{Jamin:2017mul}. We give a proof of this no-π\pi theorem for a general case of (not necessarily scheme-independent) one-scale massless correlators. All π\pi-dependent terms in the {\bf six-loop} coefficient of an anomalous dimension (or a β\beta-function) are shown to be explicitly expressible in terms of lower order coefficients for a general one-charge theory. For the case of a scalar O(n)O(n) ϕ4\phi^4 theory all our predictions for π\pi-dependent terms in 6-loop anomalous dimensions are in full agreement with recent results of [Batkovich:2016jus],[Schnetz:2016fhy],[Kompaniets:2017yct].
