Differential equations for loop integrals without squared propagators

Jorrit Bosma, Kasper J. Larsen, Yang Zhang

We provide a sufficient condition for avoiding squared propagators in the intermediate stages of setting up differential equations for loop integrals. This condition is satisfied i…

Complete integration-by-parts reductions of the non-planar hexagon-box via module intersections

Janko Boehm, Alessandro Georgoudis, Kasper J. Larsen +2

We present the powerful module-intersection integration-by-parts (IBP) method, suitable for multi-loop and multi-scale Feynman integral reduction. Utilizing modern computational al…

Complete sets of logarithmic vector fields for integration-by-parts identities of Feynman integrals

Janko Boehm, Alessandro Georgoudis, Kasper J. Larsen +2

Integration-by-parts identities between loop integrals arise from the vanishing integration of total derivatives in dimensional regularization. Generic choices of total derivatives…

Azurite: An algebraic geometry based package for finding bases of loop integrals

Alessandro Georgoudis, Kasper J. Larsen, Yang Zhang

For any given Feynman graph, the set of integrals with all possible powers of the propagators spans a vector space of finite dimension. We introduce the package {\sc Azurite} ({\bf…

Integration-by-parts reductions from the viewpoint of computational algebraic geometry

Kasper J. Larsen, Yang Zhang

Integration-by-parts reductions play a central role in perturbative QFT calculations. They allow the set of Feynman integrals contributing to a given observable to be reduced to a…

Integration-by-parts reductions from unitarity cuts and algebraic geometry

Kasper J. Larsen, Yang Zhang

We show that the integration-by-parts reductions of various two-loop integral topologies can be efficiently obtained by applying unitarity cuts to a specific set of subgraphs and s…

Cross-Order Integral Relations from Maximal Cuts

Henrik Johansson, David A. Kosower, Kasper J. Larsen +1

We study the ABDK relation using maximal cuts of one- and two-loop integrals with up to five external legs. We show how to find a special combination of integrals that allows the r…

Imaginary parts and discontinuities of Wilson line correlators

Eric Laenen, Kasper J. Larsen, Robbert Rietkerk

We introduce a notion of position-space cuts of eikonal diagrams, the set of diagrams appearing in the perturbative expansion of the correlator of a set of straight semi-infinite W…

Maximal Unitarity for the Four-Mass Double Box

Henrik Johansson, David A. Kosower, Kasper J. Larsen

We extend the maximal-unitarity formalism at two loops to double-box integrals with four massive external legs. These are relevant for higher-point processes, as well as for heavy…

An Overview of Maximal Unitarity at Two Loops

Henrik Johansson, David A. Kosower, Kasper J. Larsen

We discuss the extension of the maximal-unitarity method to two loops, focusing on the example of the planar double box. Maximal cuts are reinterpreted as contour integrals, with t…

Two-Loop Maximal Unitarity with External Masses

Henrik Johansson, David A. Kosower, Kasper J. Larsen

We extend the maximal unitarity method at two loops to double-box basis integrals with up to three external massive legs. We use consistency equations based on the requirement that…
