The sunrise integral and elliptic polylogarithms
2016
We summarize recent computations with a class of elliptic generalizations of polylogarithms, arising from the massive sunrise integral. For the case of arbitrary masses we obtain results in two and four space-time dimensions. The iterated integral structure of our functions allows us to furthermore compute the equal mass case to arbitrary order.
Numerical evaluation of iterated integrals related to elliptic Feynman integrals
2021
We report on an implementation within GiNaC to evaluate iterated integrals related to elliptic Feynman integrals numerically to arbitrary precision within the region of convergence of the series expansion of the integrand. The implementation includes iterated integrals of modular forms as well as iterated integrals involving the Kronecker coefficient functions $g^{(k)}(z,\tau)$. For the Kronecker coefficient functions iterated integrals in $d\tau$ and $dz$ are implemented. This includes elliptic multiple polylogarithms.
Feynman integrals and iterated integrals of modular forms
2017
In this paper we show that certain Feynman integrals can be expressed as linear combinations of iterated integrals of modular forms to all orders in the dimensional regularisation parameter $\varepsilon$ . We discuss explicitly the equal mass sunrise integral and the kite integral. For both cases we give the alphabet of letters occurring in the iterated integrals. For the sunrise integral we present a compact formula, expressing this integral to all orders in $\varepsilon$ as iterated integrals of modular forms.
Principal part of multi-parameter displacement functions
2012
This paper deals with a perturbation problem from a period annulus, for an analytic Hamiltonian system [J.-P. Françoise, Ergodic Theory Dynam. Systems 16 (1996), no. 1, 87–96 ; L. Gavrilov, Ann. Fac. Sci. Toulouse Math. (6) 14(2005), no. 4, 663–682. The authors consider the planar polynomial multi-parameter deformations and determine the coefficients in the expansion of the displacement function generated on a transversal section to the period annulus. Their first result gives a generalization to the Françoise algorithm for a one-parameter family, following [J.-P. Françoise and M. Pelletier, J. Dyn. Control Syst. 12 (2006), no. 3, 357–369. The second result expresses the principal terms in …
The electron self-energy in QED at two loops revisited
2018
We reconsider the two-loop electron self-energy in quantum electrodynamics. We present a modern calculation, where all relevant two-loop integrals are expressed in terms of iterated integrals of modular forms. As boundary points of the iterated integrals we consider the four cases $p^2=0$, $p^2=m^2$, $p^2=9m^2$ and $p^2=\infty$. The iterated integrals have $q$-expansions, which can be used for the numerical evaluation. We show that a truncation of the $q$-series to order ${\mathcal O}(q^{30})$ gives numerically for the finite part of the self-energy a relative precision better than $10^{-20}$ for all real values $p^2/m^2$.
On a Class of Feynman Integrals Evaluating to Iterated Integrals of Modular Forms
2019
In this talk we discuss a class of Feynman integrals, which can be expressed to all orders in the dimensional regularisation parameter as iterated integrals of modular forms. We review the mathematical prerequisites related to elliptic curves and modular forms. Feynman integrals, which evaluate to iterated integrals of modular forms go beyond the class of multiple polylogarithms. Nevertheless, we may bring for all examples considered the associated system of differential equations by a non-algebraic transformation to an \(\varepsilon \)-form, which makes a solution in terms of iterated integrals immediate.
Nilpotence of orbits under monodromy and the length of Melnikov functions
2021
Abstract Let F ∈ ℂ [ x , y ] be a polynomial, γ ( z ) ∈ π 1 ( F − 1 ( z ) ) a non-trivial cycle in a generic fiber of F and let ω be a polynomial 1-form, thus defining a polynomial deformation d F + e ω = 0 of the integrable foliation given by F . We study different invariants: the orbit depth k , the nilpotence class n , the derivative length d associated with the couple ( F , γ ) . These invariants bind the length l of the first nonzero Melnikov function of the deformation d F + e ω along γ . We analyze the variation of the aforementioned invariants in a simple but informative example, in which the polynomial F is defined by a product of four lines. We study as well the relation of this b…
Infinite orbit depth and length of Melnikov functions
2019
Abstract In this paper we study polynomial Hamiltonian systems d F = 0 in the plane and their small perturbations: d F + ϵ ω = 0 . The first nonzero Melnikov function M μ = M μ ( F , γ , ω ) of the Poincare map along a loop γ of d F = 0 is given by an iterated integral [3] . In [7] , we bounded the length of the iterated integral M μ by a geometric number k = k ( F , γ ) which we call orbit depth. We conjectured that the bound is optimal. Here, we give a simple example of a Hamiltonian system F and its orbit γ having infinite orbit depth. If our conjecture is true, for this example there should exist deformations d F + ϵ ω with arbitrary high length first nonzero Melnikov function M μ along…
