Collaboration: DESY - RISC Linz

Advanced Summation Techniques and their Applications in Quantum Field Theory

Mission :

Perturbative higher order calculations in Quantum Field Theories rely on advanced analytic summation and integration techniques in certain classes of sums and transcendental functions. Various probelms lead to difference equations in Π-Σ fields. The collaboration between Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron, DESY, Zeuthen and RISC at Johannes Kepler University, Linz aims on further development of these technologies, innovative search for new methods and the creation of efficient tools based on Computer Algebra. Beyond the application of these methods, algorithms and tools in Quantum Field Theory, these methods may be of interest in other fields, such as number theory (multiple zeta values, irrationality proofs, theory of periods, new relations between sums), general summation and analytic integration methods. A cooperation contract between both institutions was signed in February 2007. This contract has been prolonged for five years in February 2012.
Both sites also host nodes of the EU Network: LHCPhenoNet.
