We describe a first attempt to calculate scalar 2-loop box-functions with arbitrary internal masses, applying a novel method proposed in hep-ph/9407234. Four of the eight integrals are accessible to integration by means of the residue…

We review the emergence of hypergeometric structures (of $F_4$ Appell functions) from the conformal Ward identities (CWIs) in conformal field theories (CFTs) in dimensions $d > 2$. We illustrate the case of scalar 3- and 4-point functions.…
In this paper we develop an algorithm for obtaining some new linear relations among the Lauricella $F_D$ functions. Relations we obtain, generalize those hinted in the work of B. C. Carlson. The coefficients of these relations are contained…

We present a method to numerically evaluate infrared-finite one- and two-loop integrals within the Four-Dimensional Regularization/Renormalization approach, in which a small mass serves as regulator. Typical integrals exhibit a logarithmic…
We define a finite-field version of Appell-Lauricella hypergeometric functions built from period functions in several variables, paralleling the development by Fuselier, et. al in the single variable case. We develop geometric connections…
The scalar two-loop self-energy master diagram is studied in the case of arbitrary masses. Analytical results in terms of Lauricella- and Appell-functions are presented for the imaginary part. By using the dispersion relation a…
The monodromy of hypergeometric functions can govern the properties of the functions themselves. Previously, the second and third authors studied the commensurability relations among monodromy groups of the Appell--Lauricella hypergeometric…
These proceedings describe a computation of the large-$n_f$ terms contributing to the QCD splitting functions at the fourth order in the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$. Using the FORCER package for the reduction of four-loop two-point…
In this work we compute the most general massive one-loop off-shell three-point vertex in D-dimensions, where the masses, external momenta, and exponents of propagators are arbitrary. This follows our previous paper in which we have…
In this paper we continue investigation of the hypergeometric function ${}_4F_3(1)$ as the function of its seven parameters. We deduce several reduction formulas for this function under additional conditions that one of the top parameters…
In a previous work, we showed that the two- and three-loop contributions to the partition function of three-dimensional gravity in flat space vanish. This is in agreement with the expected one-loop exactness dictated by the underlying…
Pad\'e-improvement of four-loop beta-functions in massive phi^4 scalar field theory is shown to predict the known five-loop contribution with astonishing (0.2%) accuracy, supporting the applicability of Pade-summations for approximating…

We study the four-point correlation function of stress-tensor supermultiplets in N=4 SYM using the method of Lagrangian insertions. We argue that, as a corollary of N=4 superconformal symmetry, the resulting all-loop integrand possesses an…
Recasting the $N$-point one loop scalar integral as a probabilistic problem, allows the derivation of integral recurrence relations as well as exact analytical expressions in the most common cases. $\epsilon$ expansions are derived by…
