Propagators from integral representations of Green`s functions

The Pöschl–Teller potential is one of the few exactly solvable models out there, but it's not one with particularly nice solutions. I remember looking at it briefly a long while back in relation to co …

Why Zeta regularization is not valid for multiple-loops?

The standard use of zeta-regularization in quantum field theory is to replace the ill defined one-loop functional determinant with something finite: $$\begin{align} \det(H) &= \exp(\mathrm{tr}\lo …

Iterated dimensional regularization

Assuming that you can actually do the dimensionally regularized integrals, then yes, you can integrate iteratively. Normally, two-loop and higher-loop integrals are quite difficult and you need good t …

Gelfand-Yaglom theorem for functional determinants

I was at a talk a while back by Gerald Dunne where he talked about the Gelfand-Yaglom theorem. He used it for calculating some Euler-Heisenberg type effective actions. A paper of his with Hyunsoo Min …

What is sector decomposition in connection with Feynman diagrams?

Disclaimer: I've never done any real work with sector decomposition - I've only read (some of) the papers and played with some simple examples. There are many different sector decomposition strateg …
