Processes involving only massless or massive quarks at tree-level get corrections from massive (lighter, heavier, or equal-mass) secondary quarks starting at two-loop order, generated by a virtual gluon splitting into a massive quark…
All one-massless-loop Feynman diagrams could be written like a linear combination of scalar boxes, triangles an bubbles in $n$ dimensions plus rational terms. However, the four-point scalar integrals in $n+2$ dimensions are free of infrared…
We consider conformal four-point Feynman integrals to investigate how much of their mathematical structure in two spacetime dimensions carries over to higher dimensions. In particular, we discuss recursions in the loop order and spacetime…
We evaluate the one-loop soft current for the emission of two soft gluons or a soft quark-anti-quark pair in massless Quantum Chromodynamics. The results are exact in dimensional regularisation up to a single Feynman integral. Two terms of…

We determine closed and compact expressions for the epsilon-expansion of certain Gaussian hypergeometric functions expanded around half-integer values by explicitly solving for their recurrence relations. This epsilon-expansion is…
Using the multivariate residue calculus of Leray, we give a precise definition of the notion of a cut Feynman integral in dimensional regularization, as a residue evaluated on the variety where some of the propagators are put on shell.…
The Fourier transform of two-point momentum-space Feynman integrals with massless propagators and two off-shell legs can be used to prove identities between their periods, exemplified by the glue-and-cut identity. We generalize this…
Canonical Feynman integrals are of great interest in the study of scattering amplitudes at the multi-loop level. We propose to construct $d\log$-form integrals of the hypergeometric type, treat them as a representation of Feynman integrals,…
