This remark is part of an ongoing project to simplify the structure of the multi-loop anomalous dimensions for parton distributions and fragmentation functions. It answers the call for a "structural explanation" of a "very suggestive"…
The duality relation between one-loop integrals and phase-space integrals, developed in a previous work, is extended to higher-order loops. The duality relation is realized by a modification of the customary +i0 prescription of the Feynman…
The most general form of a marginal extended perturbation in a two-dimensional system is deduced from scaling considerations. It includes as particular cases extended perturbations decaying either from a surface, a line or a point for which…
A systematic study of the scalar one-loop two-, three-, and four-point Feynman integrals is performed. We consider all cases of mass assignment and external invariants and derive closed expressions in arbitrary space-time dimension in terms…
A general one-loop scattering amplitude may be expanded in terms of master integrals. The coefficients of the master integrals can be obtained from tree-level input in a two-step process. First, use known formulas to write the coefficients…

We derive the first three terms of the epsilon-expansion of the scalar one-loop Bhabha box function from a representation in terms of three generalized hypergeometric functions, which is valid in arbitrary dimensions.
We present an extension of the duality theorem, previously defined by S. Catani et al. on the one-loop level, to higher loop orders. The duality theorem provides a relation between loop integrals and tree-level phase-space integrals. Here,…
We compute the (three) master integrals for the crossed ladder diagram with two exchanged quanta of equal mass. The differential equations obeyed by the master integrals are used to generate power series expansions centered around all the…
We consider the full set of master integrals with internal top-and $W$-propagators contributing to the three-loop Higgs self-energy diagrams of order ${\mathcal O}(\alpha^2 \alpha_s)$. We split the master integrals into a system relevant to…

We present results on the calculation of the polarized 2- and 3-loop anomalous dimensions in a massive computation of the associated operator matrix element. We also discuss the treatment of $\gamma_5$ and derive results in the M-scheme.10
We explore the properties of two-point cosmic propagators when Perturbation Theory (PT) loop corrections are consistently taken into account. We show in particular how the interpolation scheme proposed in arXiv:1112.3895 can be explicitly…
Loop diagram calculations typically rely on reduction to a finite set of master integrals in $4 - 2\epsilon$ dimensions. It has been shown that for any problem, the masters can be chosen so that their coefficients are finite as $\epsilon…
