Feynman diagrams are a pictorial way of describing integrals predicting possible outcomes of interactions of subatomic particles in the context of quantum field physics. It is highly desirable to have an intrinsic mathematical…
Loop calculations involve the evaluation of divergent integrals. Usually [1] one computes them in a number of dimensions different than four where the integral is convergent and then one performs the analytical continuation and considers…
