Worldline Green Functions for Multiloop Diagrams

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-28 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We propose a multiloop generalization of the Bern-Kosower formalism, based on Strassler's approach of evaluating worldline path integrals by worldline Green functions. Those Green functions are explicitly constructed for the basic two-loop graph, and for a loop with an arbitrary number of propagator insertions. For scalar and abelian gauge theories, the resulting integral representations allow to combine whole classes of Feynman diagrams into compact expressions.
