The Two-mass Contribution to the Three-Loop Polarized Operator Matrix Element $A_{gg,Q}^{(3)}$

Abstract

We compute the two-mass contributions to the polarized massive operator matrix element $A_{gg,Q}^{(3)}$ at third order in the strong coupling constant ${\alpha }_s$ in Quantum Chromodynamics analytically. These corrections are important ingredients for the matching relations in the variable flavor number scheme and for the calculation of Wilson coefficients in deep--inelastic scattering in the asymptotic regime $Q^2\gg m_c^2,m_b^2$. The analytic result is expressed in terms of nested harmonic, generalized harmonic, cyclotomic and binomial sums in $N$-space and by iterated integrals involving square-root valued arguments in $z$ space, as functions of the mass ratio. Numerical results are presented. New two--scale iterative integrals are calculated.
