The approach to the constructing explicit solutions of the recurrence relations for multi-loop integrals are suggested. The resulting formulas demonstrate a high efficiency, at least for 3-loop vacuum integrals case. They also produce a new…
In four-dimensional theories with massless particles, the one-loop amplitudes can be expressed in terms of a basis of scalar integrals and rational terms. Since the scalar bubble integrals are the only UV divergent integrals, the sum of the…

We consider the volume of a Boolean expression of some congruent balls about a given system of centers in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. When the radius $r$ of the balls is large, this volume can be approximated by a polynomial of…

We uncover an unexpected connection between the physics of loop integrals and the mathematics of spline functions. One loop integrands are Laplace transforms of splines. This clarifies the geometry of the associated loop integrals, since a…
Analytic relations are derived for finite volume integrals over the radial distribution function of a fluid, so-called Kirkwood-Buff integrals. Closed form expressions are obtained for cubes and cuboids, the system shapes commonly employed…
