Recently, algorithms for calculation of 3-loop propagator diagrams in HQET and on-shell QCD with a heavy quark have been constructed and implemented. These algorithms (based on integration by parts recurrence relations) reduce an arbitrary…
This is a status report of the evaluation of the three-loop corrections to the static QCD potential of a heavy quark and an antiquark. The families of Feynman integrals that appear in the evaluation are described. To reduce any integral of…
We recall that diagonals of rational functions naturally occur in lattice statistical mechanics and enumerative combinatorics. We find that a seven-parameter rational function of three variables with a numerator equal to one (reciprocal of…

A survey is given on the new 2- and 3-loop results for the heavy flavor contributions to deep-inelastic scattering in the unpolarized and the polarized case. We also discuss related new mathematical aspects applied in these calculations.
We solve the two-loop sunrise integral with unequal masses systematically to all orders in the dimensional regularisation parameter $\varepsilon$. In order to do so, we transform the system of differential equations for the master integrals…
We fill a gap in the proof of the transversality result for quilted Floer trajectories in arXiv:0905.1370 by addressing trajectories for which some but not all components are constant. Namely we show that for generic sets of split…
The resummed expression for the quark form factor illustrates the fact that dimensional continuation provides a regularization not only for ultraviolet and infrared singularities of fixed order QCD amplitudes, but also for the Landau pole…
We describe a method to numerically compute multi-loop integrals, depending on one dimensionless parameter $x$ and the dimension $d$, in the whole kinematic range of $x$. The method is based on differential equations, which, however, do not…
In this article, $q$-regular sequences in the sense of Allouche and Shallit are analysed asymptotically. It is shown that the summatory function of a regular sequence can asymptotically be decomposed as a finite sum of periodic fluctuations…
We present quantitative results on the single-mass heavy-flavor contributions in the region of large virtualities $Q^2$ up to three-loop order to the unpolarized structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$ and the polarized structure function…

The three-loop QCD corrections to the $\rho$ parameter from top and bottom quark loops are calculated. The result differs from the one recently calculated by Avdeev et al. As function of the pole mass the numerical value is given by…

We study the invariant theory of trilinear forms over a three-dimensional complex vector space, and apply it to investigate the behaviour of pure entangled three-partite qutrit states and their normal forms under local filtering operations…
We consider logarithmic vector- and matrix-valued modular forms of integral weight $k$ associated with a $p$-dimensional representation $\rho: SL_2(\mathbb{Z}) \to GL_p(\mathbb{C})$ of the modular group, subject only to the condition that…
