The two-loop QCD corrections to vector boson pair production at hadron colliders involve a new class of Feynman integrals: two-loop four-point functions with two off-shell external legs. We describe their reduction to a small set of master…
In this talk we discuss Feynman integrals which are related to elliptic curves. We show with the help of an explicit example that in the set of master integrals more than one elliptic curve may occur. The technique of maximal cuts is a…
We consider the calculation of the master integrals of the three-loop massive banana graph. In the case of equal internal masses, the graph is reduced to three master integrals which satisfy an irreducible system of three coupled linear…
We compute the full set of two-loop Feynman integrals appearing in massless two-loop four-point functions with two off-shell legs with the same invariant mass. These integrals allow to determine the two-loop corrections to the amplitudes…
The standard procedure when evaluating integrals of a given family of Feynman integrals, corresponding to some Feynman graph, is to construct an algorithm which provides the possibility to write any particular integral as a linear…
We show how a large class of Feynman integrals can be efficiently reduced to master integrals by suitable covariant differentiation on the vector space dual to the one spanned by the master integrals. The connections needed in the covariant…
The general lines of the derivation and the main properties of the master equations for the master amplitudes associated to a given Feynman graph are recalled. Some results for the 2-loop self-mass graph with 4 propagators are then…
We consider Feynman integrals with algebraic leading singularities and total differentials in $\epsilon\,\mathrm{d}\ln$ form. We show for the first time that it is possible to evaluate integrals with singularities involving unrationalizable…
In modern quantum field theory, one of the most important tasks is the calculation of loop integrals. Loop integrals appear when evaluating the Feynman diagrams with one or more loops by integrating over the internal momenta. Even though…
We revisit the idea of numerically integrating the differential form of Feynman integrals. With a novel approach for the treatment of branch cuts, we develop an integrator capable of evaluating a basis of master integrals in double and…
We investigate a geometric approach to determining the complete set of numerators giving rise to finite Feynman integrals. Our approach proceeds graph by graph, and makes use of the Newton polytope associated to the integral's Symanzik…
The 4-th order Runge-Kutta method in the complex plane is proposed for numerically advancing the solutions of a system of first order differential equations in one external invariant satisfied by the master integrals related to a Feynman…
Numerical evaluations of Feynman integrals often proceed via a deformation of the integration contour into the complex plane. While valid contours are easy to construct, the numerical precision for a multi-loop integral can depend…
We introduce the tools of intersection theory to the study of Feynman integrals, which allows for a new way of projecting integrals onto a basis. In order to illustrate this technique, we consider the Baikov representation of maximal cuts…
A detailed investigation is presented of a set of algorithms which form the basis for a fast and reliable numerical integration of one-loop multi-leg (up to six) Feynman diagrams, with special attention to the behavior around (possibly)…
We calculate two-loop massive master integrals for $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow2\gamma$ in terms of generalized power series with respect to electron mass. The coefficients of this series are expressed via Goncharov's polylogarithms. Our approach…
We provide analytic results for two-loop four-point master integrals with one massive propagator and one massive leg relevant to single top production. Canonical bases of master integrals are constructed and the Simplified Differential…
In this paper we continue our study of polynomial diffeomorphisms of C^2. Let us recall that there is an invariant measure $\mu$, which is the pluri-complex version of the harmonic measure of the Julia set for polynomial maps of C. In this…
The behavior under iteration of the critical points of polynomial maps plays an essential role in understanding its dynamics. We study the special case where the forward orbits of the critical points are finite. Thurston's theorem tells us…
In a recent paper we have presented an automated subtraction method for divergent multi-loop/leg integrals in dimensional regularisation which allows for their numerical evaluation, and applied it to diagrams with massless internal lines.…
