Multiple polylogarithms with algebraic arguments and the two-loop EW-QCD Drell-Yan master integrals

Abstract

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 roots in terms of conventional multiple polylogarithms, by either parametric integration or matching the symbol. As our main application, we evaluate the two-loop master integrals relevant to the $\alpha {\alpha }_s$ corrections to Drell-Yan lepton pair production at hadron colliders. We optimize our functional basis to allow for fast and stable numerical evaluations in the physical region of phase space.
