Cusp and Collinear Anomalous Dimensions in Four-Loop QCD from Form Factors

Abstract: We calculate the complete quark and gluon cusp anomalous dimensions in four-loop massless QCD analytically from first principles. In addition, we determine the complete matter dependence of the quark and gluon collinear anomalous dimensions. Our approach is to Laurent expand four-loop quark and gluon form factors in the parameter of dimensional regularization. We employ finite field and syzygy techniques to reduce the relevant Feynman integrals to a basis of finite integrals, and subsequently evaluate the basi… Show more

“…The cusp anomalous dimension is now known to fourloop order [61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74], and the QCD β-function is as well [75]. The hard and jet functions are known through three-loop order [45,[75][76][77][78][79][80][81], as they are relevant for resummation of a broad class of observables.…”

“…Reduze and LiteRed [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], based on the Laporta algorithm [17] and/or the algebra structures of IBP relations [18][19][20]. In recent years, many new ideas and programs have appeared for use in the computation of complicated multi-loop IBP reductions, for example, syzygy approach [21][22][23][24][25][26], finite-field interpolation [27][28][29][30][31], module intersection [32,33], intersection theory [34][35][36][37], η expansion [38][39][40][41][42] and direct solution of IBP recursive relations [43].…”

“…[50]. At four loops, one finds the first occurence of higher-order Casimir operators of the gauge algebra, which have recently been computed in the case of the cusp anomalous dimension [61,62]: the interplay of this class of contributions to the cusp with similar contributions to multi-particle correlators is a very interesting open problem, with subtle connections to the factorisation of collinear poles. We note that an interesting alternative approach to IR exponentiation, focusing not on diagrammatics but on the symmetries and renormalisation properties of Wilson-line correlators, was developed in refs.…”

“…Together with Bose symmetry, they allow to reduce the form of the soft anomalous dimension matrix to a relatively simple parametrisation in terms of a few scalar functions. Of particular interest is the appearance, at four loops, of contributions proportional to quartic Casimir operators of the gauge algebra, which are fully known for the simple case of two Wilson lines [61,62,79,80], but, as yet, undetermined in the general case, although partial results have begun to emerge [53,81]. Our results provide all the necessary colour ingredients for the complete four-loop calculation, and other tools are available for the study of colour structures at high orders, such as the effective vertex analysis of ref.…”
