A survey is given on the present status of analytic calculation methods and the mathematical structures of zero- and single scale Feynman amplitudes which emerge in higher order perturbative calculations in the Standard Model of elementary particles, its extensions and associated model field theories, including effective field theories of different kind.

Correlation functions of Wilson lines are relevant for describing the infrared structure of scattering amplitudes. We develop a new method for evaluating a wide class of such Wilson line integrals, and apply it to the calculation of the velocity-dependent cusp anomalous dimension in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We compute the four-loop non-planar correction in a recently introduced scaling limit. Moreover, we derive the full planar four-loop result by means of an ansatz which is based on the structure of known analytic results. We determine the coefficients in this ansatz by mak…
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are employed for a numerical determination of the analytic structure of two-point correlation functions of Quantum Field Theories. These functions are represented through integrals in d-dimensional Euclidean momentum space. Such integrals can in general not be solved analytically, and therefore one has to rely on numerical procedures to extract their analytic structures if needed. After describing the general outline of the corresponding algorithm we demonstrate the procedure by providing a completely worked-out example in four dimensions for which an exact sol…
From a path integral point of view (e.g. \cite{Q98}) physicists have shown how {\it duality} in antisymmetric quantum field theories on a closed space-time manifold $M$ relies in a fundamental way on Fourier Transformations of formal infinite-dimensional volume measures. We first review these facts from a measure theoretical point of view, setting the importance of the Hodge decomposition theorem in the underlying geometric picture, ignoring the local symmetry which lead to degeneracies of the action. To handle these degeneracies we then apply Schwarz's Ansatz showing how duality leads to a fa…
We give a general integration prescription for finite dimensional braided Hopf algebras, deriving the N-dimensional quantum superplane integral as an example. The transformation properties of the integral on the quantum plane are found. We also discuss integration on quantum group modules that lack a Hopf structure.
We present libami, a lightweight implementation of algorithmic Matsubara integration (AMI) written in C++. AMI is a tool for analytically resolving the sequence of nested Matsubara integrals that arise in virtually all Feynman perturbative expansions.
The title of this article refers to analytic continuation of three-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theory away from integer values of the usual coupling parameter k, to explore questions such as the volume conjecture, or analytic continuation of three-dimensional quantum gravity (to the extent that it can be described by gauge theory) from Lorentzian to Euclidean signature. Such analytic continuation can be carried out by rotating the integration cycle of the Feynman path integral. Morse theory or Picard-Lefschetz theory gives a natural framework for describing the appropriate integration cycle…
In this article we present formulae for q-integration on quantum spaces which could be of particular importance in physics, i.e. q-deformed Minkowski space and q-deformed Euclidean space in 3 or 4 dimensions. Furthermore, our formulae can be regarded as a generalization of Jackson's q-integral to 3 and 4 dimensions and provide a new possibility for an integration over the whole space being invariant under translations and rotations.
I describe a package written in MATHEMATICA that automatizes typical operations performed during evaluation of Feynman graphs with Mellin-Barnes (MB) techniques. The main procedure allows to analytically continue a MB integral in a given parameter without any intervention from the user and thus to resolve the singularity structure in this parameter. The package can also perform numerical integrations at specified kinematic points, as long as the integrands have satisfactory convergence properties. I demonstrate that, at least in the case of massive graphs in the physical region, the convergenc…
We develop an analytic method for implementing the IR-resummation of arXiv:1404.5954, which allows one to correctly and consistently describe the imprint of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) on statistical observables in large-scale structure. We show that the final IR-resummed correlation function can be computed analytically without relying on numerical integration, thus allowing for an efficient and accurate use of these predictions on real data in cosmological parameter fitting. In this work we focus on the one-loop correlation function and the BAO peak. We show that, compared with the st…
A general quantum mechanical or quantum field theoretical system in the path integral formulation has both real and complex saddles (instantons and ghost-instantons). Resurgent asymptotic analysis implies that both types of saddles contribute to physical observables, even if the complex saddles are not on the integration path i.e., the associated Stokes multipliers are zero. We show explicitly that instanton-anti-instanton and ghost--anti-ghost saddles both affect the expansion around the perturbative vacuum. We study a self-dual model in which the analytic continuation of the partition functi…
We introduce an algebraic theory of integration on quantum planes and other braided spaces. In the one dimensional case we obtain a novel picture of the Jackson $q$-integral as indefinite integration on the braided group of functions in one variable $x$. Here $x$ is treated with braid statistics $q$ rather than the usual bosonic or Grassmann ones. We show that the definite integral $\int x$ can also be evaluated algebraically as multiples of the integral of a $q$-Gaussian, with $x$ remaining as a bosonic scaling variable associated with the $q$-deformation. Further composing our algebraic inte…
The functional integration method is used for studying the scattering of a scalar pion on nucleon with the anomalous magnetic moment in the framework of nonrenomalizable quantum field theory. In the asymptotic region s {\to} {\infty}, |t| << s the representation of eikonal type for the amplitude of pion-nucleon scattering is obtained. The anomalous magnetic moment leads to additional terms in the amplitude which describe the spin flips in the scattering process. It is shown that the renormalization problem does not arise in the asymptotic s {\to} {\infty} since the unrenomalized divergences di…
Using a gauge invariant reduction we directly integrate the SL(2,R)/U(1) WZNW theory. We prove that the conserved parafermions of this theory are coset currents. Quantum mechanically, the parafermion algebra, the energy-momentum tensor, and `auxiliary' parafermions are deformed in a self-consistent manner.
Invariant integrals of functions and forms over $q$ - deformed Euclidean space and spheres in $N$ dimensions are defined and shown to be positive definite, compatible with the star - structure and to satisfy a cyclic property involving the $D$ - matrix of $SO_q(N)$. The definition is more general than the Gaussian integral known so far. Stokes theorem is proved with and without spherical boundary terms, as well as on the sphere.
A positive, diffeomorphism-invariant generalized measure on the space of metrics of a two-dimensional smooth manifold is constructed. We use the term generalized measure analogously with the generalized measures of Ashtekar and Lewandowski and of Baez. A family of actions is presented which, when integrated against this measure, give the two-dimensional axiomatic topological quantum field theories, or TQFT's, in terms of which Durhuus and Jonsson decompose every two-dimensional unitary TQFT as a direct sum.
