Abstract

A bstract : We present a method to obtain analytic results in terms of multiple polylogarithms for one-loop triangle, box and pentagon integrals depending on an arbitrary number of scales and to any desired order in the Laurent expansion in the dimensional regulator ε . Our method leverages the fact that for ε = 0 one-loop integrals compute volumes of simplices in hyperbolic spaces, which can always be evaluated in terms of polylogarithms using an algorithm recently introduced in pure mathematics. The higher orders in ε can then be expressed as a one-fold integral involving the result for ε = 0. Remarkably, we find that for up to five external legs, all integrals can be evaluated algorithmically in terms of polylogarithms using direct integration techniques, which, in particular, requires us to rationalise all appearing square roots. We also discuss how we can use the connection to hyperbolic geometry to perform the analytic continuation from the Euclidean region to other kinematic regions.
