Hypergeometric Structures in Feynman Integrals
J. Blümlein, C. Schneider, M. Saragnese
Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence 91(5), pp. 591-649. 2023. ISSN 1573-7470. arXiv:2111.15501 [math-ph]. [doi]author = {J. Blümlein and C. Schneider and M. Saragnese},
title = {{Hypergeometric Structures in Feynman Integrals}},
language = {english},
abstract = {Hypergeometric structures in single and multiscale Feynman integrals emerge in a wide class of topologies. Using integration-by-parts relations, associated master or scalar integrals have to be calculated. For this purpose it appears useful to devise an automated method which recognizes the respective (partial) differential equations related to the corresponding higher transcendental functions. We solve these equations through associated recursions of the expansion coefficient of the multivalued formal Taylor series. The expansion coefficients can be determined using either the package {tt Sigma} in the case of linear difference equations or by applying heuristic methods in the case of partial linear difference equations. In the present context a new type of sums occurs, the Hurwitz harmonic sums, and generalized versions of them. The code {tt HypSeries} transforming classes of differential equations into analytic series expansions is described. Also partial difference equations having rational solutions and rational function solutions of Pochhammer symbols are considered, for which the code {tt solvePartialLDE} is designed. Generalized hypergeometric functions, Appell-,~Kamp'e de F'eriet-, Horn-, Lauricella-Saran-, Srivasta-, and Exton--type functions are considered. We illustrate the algorithms by examples.},

Error bounds for the asymptotic expansion of the partition function
Koustav Banerjee, Peter Paule, Cristian-Silviu Radu, Carsten Schneider
Rocky Mt J Math to appear, pp. ?-?. 2023. ISSN: 357596. arXiv:2209.07887 [math.NT]. [doi]author = {Koustav Banerjee and Peter Paule and Cristian-Silviu Radu and Carsten Schneider},
title = {{Error bounds for the asymptotic expansion of the partition function}},
language = {english},
abstract = {Asymptotic study on the partition function $p(n)$ began with the work of Hardy and Ramanujan. Later Rademacher obtained a convergent series for $p(n)$ and an error bound was given by Lehmer. Despite having this, a full asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$ with an explicit error bound is not known. Recently O'Sullivan studied the asymptotic expansion of $p^{k}(n)$-partitions into $k$th powers, initiated by Wright, and consequently obtained an asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$ along with a concise description of the coefficients involved in the expansion but without any estimation of the error term. Here we consider a detailed and comprehensive analysis on an estimation of the error term obtained by truncating the asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$ at any positive integer $n$. This gives rise to an infinite family of inequalities for $p(n)$ which finally answers to a question proposed by Chen. Our error term estimation predominantly relies on applications of algorithmic methods from symbolic summation. },

Here we use the method of arbitrary high Mellin moments and difference ring theory, based on integration-by-parts relations. This method also constitutes one way to compute the QCD anomalous dimensions. The presented higher order contributions to these operator matrix elements occur as building blocks in the corresponding higher order calculations upto four--loop order. All contributing quantities can be expressed in terms of harmonic sums in Mellin--$N$ space or by harmonic polylogarithms in $z$--space. We also perform comparisons to the literature. },
