Evaluation of three-loop self-energy master integrals with four or five propagators

Abstract

I obtain identities satisfied by the 3-loop self-energy master integrals with four or five propagators with generic masses, including the derivatives with respect to each of the squared masses and the external momentum invariant. These identities are then recast in terms of the corresponding renormalized master integrals, enabling straightforward numerical evaluation of them by the differential equations approach. Some benchmark examples are provided. The method used to obtain the derivative identities relies only on the general form implied by integration by parts relations, without actually following the usual integration by parts reduction procedure. As a byproduct, I find a simple formula giving the expansion of the master integrals to arbitrary order in the external momentum invariant, in terms of known derivatives of the corresponding vacuum integrals.
