Tame multi-leg Feynman integrals beyond one loop

Abstract

We introduce a novel structure for Feynman integrals, reformulating them as integrals over a small set of parameters with a fully controllable integrand. The integrand closely resembles one-loop Feynman integrals, and they are very easy to handle. Remarkably, the number of remaining integration parameters is independent of the number of external legs and small -- at most 2 for two-loop integrals and 5 for three-loop integrals -- facilitating the application of a wide range of established methods, both specific to Feynman integrals and more general techniques. This approach is expected to mitigate the computational challenges of multi-loop, multi-leg Feynman integrals. As a proof of concept, we successfully computed two-loop non-planar Feynman integrals with six external legs, demonstrating high efficiency.
