Derivatives of Horn-type hypergeometric functions with respect to their parameters
We consider the derivatives of Horn hypergeometric functions of any number
variables with respect to their parameters. The derivative of the function in
variables is expressed as a Horn hypergeometric series of infinite
summations depending on the same variables and with the same region of
convergence as for original Horn function. The derivatives of Appell functions,
generalized hypergeometric functions, confluent and non-confluent Lauricella
series and generalized Lauricella series are explicitly presented. Applications
to the calculation of Feynman diagrams are discussed, especially the series
expansion in within dimensional regularization. Connections with
other classes of special functions are discussed as well.Comment: 27 page
Exact calculation of the ground state single-particle Green's function for the quantum many body system at integer coupling
The ground state single particle Green's function describing hole propagation
is calculated exactly for the quantum many body system at integer
coupling. The result is in agreement with a recent conjecture of Haldane.Comment: Late
Fast computation of the Gauss hypergeometric function with all its parameters complex with application to the Poschl-Teller-Ginocchio potential wave functions
The fast computation of the Gauss hypergeometric function 2F1 with all its
parameters complex is a difficult task. Although the 2F1 function verifies
numerous analytical properties involving power series expansions whose
implementation is apparently immediate, their use is thwarted by instabilities
induced by cancellations between very large terms. Furthermore, small areas of
the complex plane are inaccessible using only 2F1 power series formulas, thus
rendering 2F1 evaluations impossible on a purely analytical basis. In order to
solve these problems, a generalization of R.C. Forrey's transformation theory
has been developed. The latter has been successful in treating the 2F1 function
with real parameters. As in real case transformation theory, the large
canceling terms occurring in 2F1 analytical formulas are rigorously dealt with,
but by way of a new method, directly applicable to the complex plane. Taylor
series expansions are employed to enter complex areas outside the domain of
validity of power series analytical formulas. The proposed algorithm, however,
becomes unstable in general when |a|,|b|,|c| are moderate or large. As a
physical application, the calculation of the wave functions of the analytical
Poschl-Teller-Ginocchio potential involving 2F1 evaluations is considered.Comment: 29 pages; accepted in Computer Physics Communication
A Feynman integral in Lifshitz-point and Lorentz-violating theories in R<sup>D</sup> ⨁ R<i><sup>m</sup></i>
We evaluate a 1-loop, 2-point, massless Feynman integral ID,m(p,q) relevant for perturbative field theoretic calculations in strongly anisotropic d=D+m dimensional spaces given by the direct sum RD ⨁ Rm . Our results are valid in the whole convergence region of the integral for generic (noninteger) codimensions D and m. We obtain series expansions of ID,m(p,q) in terms of powers of the variable X:=4p2/q4, where p=|p|, q=|q|, p Є RD, q Є Rm, and in terms of generalised hypergeometric functions 3F2(−X), when X<1. These are subsequently analytically continued to the complementary region X≥1. The asymptotic expansion in inverse powers of X1/2 is derived. The correctness of the results is supported by agreement with previously known special cases and extensive numerical calculations
Multiple (inverse) binomial sums of arbitrary weight and depth and the all-order epsilon-expansion of generalized hypergeometric functions with one half-integer value of parameter
We continue the study of the construction of analytical coefficients of the
epsilon-expansion of hypergeometric functions and their connection with Feynman
diagrams. In this paper, we show the following results:
Theorem A: The multiple (inverse) binomial sums of arbitrary weight and depth
(see Eq. (1.1)) are expressible in terms of Remiddi-Vermaseren functions.
Theorem B: The epsilon expansion of a hypergeometric function with one
half-integer value of parameter (see Eq. (1.2)) is expressible in terms of the
harmonic polylogarithms of Remiddi and Vermaseren with coefficients that are
ratios of polynomials. Some extra materials are available via the www at this
