Four 3-loop two-point functions are studied analytically and numerically using a simplified sector decomposition method. The coefficients of the ultraviolet divergent part are determined analytically, and those of the finite part are…
In a series of papers we have developed the method of iterated sector decomposition for the calculation of infrared divergent multi-loop integrals. Here we apply it to phase space integrals to calculate a contribution to the double real…
The scalar two-loop self-energy master diagram is studied in the case of arbitrary masses. Analytical results in terms of Lauricella- and Appell-functions are presented for the imaginary part. By using the dispersion relation a…
The $\epsilon$-expansion of several two-loop self-energy diagrams with different thresholds and one mass are calculated. On-shell results are reduced to multiple binomial sums which values are presented in analytical form.
Motivated by the results of the electroweak precision experiments, studies of two-loop self-energy Feynman diagrams are performed. An algebraic method for the reduction of all two-loop self-energies to a set of standard scalar integrals is…
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…

A new approach is presented to evaluate multi-loop integrals, which appear in the calculation of cross-sections in high-energy physics. It relies on a fully numerical method and is applicable to a wide class of integrals with various mass…
A non-iterative method is presented for the factorization step of sector decomposition method, which separates infrared divergent part from loop integration. This method is based on a classification of asymptotic behavior of polynomials.…
We present a method to calculate to very high precision the coefficients of the divergences occuring in two-loop diagrams for a massive scalar field on the lattice. The approach is based on coordinate space techniques and extensive use of…
Using dispersive techniques, it is possible to avoid ultraviolet divergences in the calculation of Feynman diagrams, making subsequent regularization of divergent diagrams unnecessary. We give a simple introduction to the most important…
A recently proposed method of calculating scalar two-loop propagator and vertex functions with massive particles is illustrated with simple examples. A double integral representation is derived with the example of a propagator function. An…
We study the problem of calculating two-loop three-point diagrams with irreducible numerators (i.e. numerators which cannot be expressed in terms of the denominators). For the case of massless internal particles and arbitrary (off-shell)…
Sector decomposition is a constructive method to isolate divergences from parameter integrals occurring in perturbative quantum field theory. We explain the general algorithm in detail and review its application to multi-loop Feynman…
It is described how the method of sector decomposition can serve to disentangle overlapping infrared singularities, in particular those occurring in the calculation of the real emission part of e+e- to 2 jets and e+e- to 3 jets at NNLO.
I describe a method to calculate a class of three-loop selfenergy diagrams for arbitrary internal masses and external momentum. This method combines analytical results and numerical integration, and is suitable for implementation in a…
We briefly review numerical methods for calculations beyond one loop and then describe new developments within the method of sector decomposition in more detail. We also discuss applications to two-loop integrals involving several mass…
I present the two-loop self-energy functions for scalar bosons in a general renormalizable theory, within the approximation that vector bosons are treated as massless or equivalently that gauge symmetries are unbroken. This enables the…
Hard thermal loops describe how soft gauge fields are screened and damped in hot plasmas. As such they are used to calculate transport coefficients, Sphaleron rates, equations of state, and particle production. However, most calculations…
In this talk we discuss sector decomposition. This is a method to disentangle overlapping singularities through a sequence of blow-ups. We report on an open-source implementation of this algorithm to compute numerically the Laurent…
