Three-loop photon spectral density in QED

Abstract

We calculate three-loop photon spectral density in QED with NN different species of electrons. The obtained results were expressed in terms of iterated integrals, which are either reduce to Goncharov's polylogarithms or can be written in terms of one-fold integrals of harmonic polylogarithms and complete elliptic integrals. In addition we provide threshold and high-energy asymptotics of the calculated spectral density. It is shown, that the use of the obtained spectral density correctly reproduces separately calculated moments of corresponding photon polarization operator.
