Holonomic techniques for massive 3-loop form factors: the gluonic case
Abstract
Massive three-loop form factors for vector, axial-vector, scalar, and pseudoscalar currents are vital for precision collider phenomenology. Extending the quarkonic framework to the more complex gluonic case, in Ref. (arXiv:2609.22034 [hep-ph]) we computed these contributions widely using advanced computer algebra, automated guessing, and large-scale PSLQ searches. Here, we outline the core strategy of the large-moment method and illustrate its main challenges, including solving record-sized recurrences and differential equations. Our high-precision evaluation provides an exact analytic representation around s=0 in terms of MZVs. We achieved a complete analytic series expansion around s=±∞ for the first time, which depends on MZVs and three constants out of higher number spaces, along with reliable analytic continuations across s ∈ (−∞, ∞), serving as a landmark benchmark for modern symbolic computation.
