We examine maximal unitarity in the nonplanar case and derive remarkably compact analytic expressions for coefficients of master integrals with two-loop crossed box topology in massless four-point amplitudes in any gauge theory, thereby…
Double parton distributions (DPDs) receive a short-distance contribution from a single parton splitting to yield the two observed partons. We investigate this mechanism at next-to-leading order (NLO) in perturbation theory. Technically, we…
We present a complete reevaluation of the irreducible two-loop vacuum-polarization correction to the photon propagator in quantum electrodynamics, i.e. with an electron-positron pair in the fermion propagators. The integration is carried…
An explicit Loop Tree Duality (LTD) formula for two-loop Feynman integrals with integer power of propagators is presented and used for a numerical UV divergence subtraction algorithm. This algorithm proceeds recursively and it is based on…
We introduce a class of functions which constitutes an obvious elliptic generalization of multiple polylogarithms. A subset of these functions appears naturally in the \epsilon-expansion of the imaginary part of the two-loop massive sunrise…
Problems occurring in physically important non-trivial examples of loop calculations are discussed. A procedure of deriving expansions of two-loop self-energy diagrams with different masses is constructed. The cases of small and large…
We present a new formulation of the loop-tree duality theorem for higher loop diagrams valid both for massless and massive cases. $l$-loop integrals are expressed as weighted sum of trees obtained from cutting $l$ internal propagators of…
We compute systematically for the planar double box Feynman integral relevant to top pair production with a closed top loop the Laurent expansion in the dimensional regularisation parameter $\varepsilon$. This is done by transforming the…
We propose a novel method for reconstructing Laurent expansion of rational functions using $p$-adic numbers. By evaluating the rational functions in $p$-adic fields rather than finite fields, it is possible to probe the expansion…
We solve the integration-by-parts (IBP) identities needed for the computation of any planar two-loop five-point massless amplitude in QCD. We also derive some new results for the most complicated non-planar topology with irreducible…
We study quantum loop corrections to two-point functions and extraction of physical quantities in a five-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory on an orbifold. At two-loop level, we find that divergence for quartic derivative terms of $(p^2)^2$ appear…
Following the Mellin and inverse Mellin transform techniques presented in our paper arXiv:1606.02150 (NT), we have established close forms of Laurent series expansions of products of bi- and trigamma functions /psi(z)*/psi(-z) and…
We present the calculation of the mixed two-loop QCD/electroweak corrections to hadronic W boson decays within the Standard Model. The optical theorem is applied to the W boson two-point function. The multi-scale integrals are computed with…
The two loop equal mass sunrise graph is considered in the continuous d-dimensional regularisation for arbitrary values of the momentum transfer. After recalling the equivalence of the expansions at d=2 and d=4, the second order…
We evaluate the massless one-loop hexagon integral in six dimensions. The result is given in terms of standard polylogarithms of uniform transcendental weight three, its functional form resembling the one of the remainder function of the…
The differential equations for the 2-loop sunrise graph, at equal masses but arbitrary momentum transfer, are used for the analytic evaluation of the coefficients of its Laurent-expansion in the continuous dimension $d$.
The hemisphere soft function is calculated to order alpha_s^2. This is the first multi-scale soft function calculated to two loops. The renormalization scale dependence of the result agrees exactly with the prediction from effective field…
We consider the factorisation of one-loop amplitudes at complex kinematic points. By determining the terms that are absent for real kinematics, we can construct a recursive ansatz for the purely rational pieces of one-loop amplitudes in…
We present the calculation of the two-loop soft function for the transverse momentum distribution of the leading jet produced in association with any colour-singlet system (e.g.~a Higgs or a $Z$ boson). This constitutes a central ingredient…
New explicit expressions are derived for the one-loop two-point Feynman integral with arbitrary external momentum and masses $m_1^2$ and $m_2^2$ in D dimensions. The results are given in terms of Appell functions, manifestly symmetric with…
