Description

In this talk, I describe a new method for the decomposition of multi-loop Feynman integrals into quasi-finite Feynman integrals. These are defined in shifted dimensions with higher powers of the propagators, make explicit both infrared and ultraviolet divergences, and allow for an immediate and trivial expansion in the parameter of dimensional regularization. The approach avoids the introduction of spurious structures and thereby leaves integrals particularly accessible to direct analytical integration techniques. Alternatively, the resulting convergent Feynman parameter integrals may be evaluated numerically. The method is based on integration by parts reductions and allows for automation in a straight- forward fashion. Further reading: arXiv:1411.7392.
