The $N_f \,C_F^3$ contribution to the non-singlet splitting function at four-loop order

Abstract

We report a new result for the $N_f \,C_F^3$ contribution to the four-loop anomalous dimensions of non-singlet, twist-two operators in Quantum Chromodynamics. This result is obtained through computations of off-shell operator matrix elements. Employing integration-by-parts reductions and differential equations with respect to a tracing parameter allowed us to derive analytic results valid for arbitrary Mellin moment $n$.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure, ancillary file with resul
