In this talk we discuss a class of Feynman integrals, which can be expressed to all orders in the dimensional regularisation parameter as iterated integrals of modular forms. We review the mathematical prerequisites related to elliptic…
We present algorithms to evaluate two types of multiple sums, which appear in higher-order loop computations. We consider expansions of a generalized hypergeometric-type sums, $\sum_{n_1,...,n_N} [Gamma(a1.n+c1) Gamma(a2.n}+c2) ...…
The skew-harmonic numbers are the partial sums of the alternating harmonic series, i.e. the expansion of log(2). We evaluate in closed form various power series and numerical series with skew-harmonic numbers. This provides a simultaneous…
Multiple zeta values are real numbers defined by an infinite series generalizing values of the Riemann zeta function at positive integers. Finite truncations of this series are called multiple harmonic sums and are known to have interesting…
We develop ladders that reduce $\zeta(n):=\sum_{k>0}k^{-n}$, for $n=3,5,7,9,11$, and $\beta(n):=\sum_{k\ge0}(-1)^k(2k+1)^{-n}$, for $n=2,4,6$, to convergent polylogarithms and products of powers of $\pi$ and $\log2$. Rapid computability…
We present a number of results about (finite) multiple harmonic sums modulo a prime, which provide interesting parallels to known results about multiple zeta values (i.e., infinite multiple harmonic series). In particular, we prove a…
The harmonic numbers and higher-order harmonic numbers appear frequently in several areas which are related to combinatorial identities, many expressions involving special functions in analytic number theory, and analysis of algorithms. The…
The volume and the number of lattice points of the permutohedron P_n are given by certain multivariate polynomials that have remarkable combinatorial properties. We give several different formulas for these polynomials. We also study a more…
We consider symmetric polynomials, p, in the noncommutative free variables (x_1, x_2, ..., x_g). We define the noncommutative complex hessian of p and we call a noncommutative symmetric polynomial noncommutative plurisubharmonic if it has a…
The present note considers a certain family of sums indexed by the set of fixed length compositions of a given number. The sums in question cannot be realized as weighted compositions. However they can be be related to the hypergeometric…
We present a unified approach which gives completely elementary proofs of three weighted sum formulae for double zeta values. This approach also leads to new evaluations of sums relating to the harmonic numbers, the alternating double zeta…
By using the example of photon-photon scattering box diagrams, different representations for loop integrals are discussed. A connection between hypergeometric representation and dilogarithms is derived. An explicit analytic continuation…
We present several sequences of Euler sums involving odd harmonic numbers. The calculational technique is based on proper two-valued integer functions, which allow to compute these sequences explicitly in terms of zeta values only.
We describe the utility of integral representations for sums of basic hypergeometric functions. In particular we use these to derive an infinite sequence of transformations for symmetrizations over certain variables which the functions…
