We show that the two-loop Euler-Heisenberg effective Lagrangian for scalar QED in a constant Euclidean self-dual background has a simple explicit closed form expression in terms of the digamma function. This result leads to a simple…
We introduce a new method for computing massless Feynman integrals analytically in parametric form. An analysis of the method yields a criterion for a primitive Feynman graph $G$ to evaluate to multiple zeta values. The criterion depends…
In this talk I review the connections between Feynman integrals and multiple polylogarithms. After an introductory section on loop integrals I discuss the Mellin-Barnes transformation and shuffle algebras. In a subsequent section multiple…
We calculate 3-loop master integrals for heavy quark correlators and the 3-loop QCD corrections to the $\rho$-parameter. They obey non-factorizing differential equations of second order with more than three singularities, which cannot be…
We review an approach for the computation of Feynman integrals by use of multiple polylogarithms, with an emphasis on the related criterion of linear reducibility of the graph. We show that the set of graphs which satisfies the linear…
Two-loop Feynman integrals of the massive $\phi^4_d$ field theory are explicitly obtained for generic space dimensions $d$. Corresponding renormalization-group functions are expressed in a compact form in terms of Gauss hypergeometric…
Within the framework of the world-line formalism we write down in detail a two-loop Euler-Heisenberg type action for gluon loops in Yang-Mills theory and discuss its divergence structure. We exactly perform all the world-line moduli…
A connection between one-loop $N$-point Feynman diagrams and certain geometrical quantities in non-Euclidean geometry is discussed. A geometrical way to calculate the corresponding Feynman integrals is considered. (This paper contains a…
We review certain classes of iterated integrals that appear in the computation of Feynman integrals that involve elliptic functions. These functions generalise the well-known class of multiple polylogarithms to elliptic curves and are…
We discuss a progress in calculation of Feynman integrals which has been done with help of the differential equation method and demonstrate the results for a class of two-point two-loop diagrams.
Work is reported on finite integral representations for 2-loop massive 2-, 3- and 4-point functions, using orthogonal and parallel space variables. It is shown that this can be utilized to cover particles with arbitrary spin (tensor…
The integrand of any multi-loop integral is characterised after Feynman parametrisation by two polynomials. In this review we summarise the properties of these polynomials. Topics covered in this article include among others: Spanning trees…
An update is given on our long-term effort to perform a three-loop check on the Affleck-Alvarez-Manton/Lebedev-Ritus exponentiation conjecture for the imaginary part of the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian, using 1+1 dimensional QED as a toy…
We discuss a progress in calculation of Feynman integrals which has been done with help of the Differential Equation Method and demonstrate the results for a class of two-point two-loop diagrams.
We study the three-loop Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian in spinor quantum electrodynamics in 1+1 dimensions. In this first part we calculate the one-fermion-loop contribution, applying both standard Feynman diagrams and the worldline formalism…
The worldline formalism provides an alternative to Feynman diagrams that has been found particularly useful for external-field calculations in quantum electrodynamics. Here I summarize its present range of applications, which includes…
We compute the three-loop beta functions of long-range multi-scalar models with general quartic interactions. The long-range nature of the models is encoded in a kinetic term with a Laplacian to the power $0<\zeta<1$, rendering the…
Based on the generating functional method with an external source function, a useful constraint on the source function is proposed for analyzing the one- and two-loop world-line Green functions. The constraint plays the same role as the…
We review what is presently known about higher loop corrections to the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian and its Scalar QED analogue. The use of those corrections as a tool for the study of the properties of the QED perturbation series is…
We propose a general coaction for families of integrals appearing in the evaluation of Feynman diagrams, such as multiple polylogarithms and generalized hypergeometric functions. We further conjecture a link between this coaction and…
