Dodgson polynomial identities

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Dodgson polynomials appear in Schwinger parametric Feynman integrals and are closely related to the well known Kirchhoff (or first Symanzik) polynomial. In this article a new combinatorial interpretation and a generalisation of Dodgson polynomials are provided. This leads to two new identities that relate large sums of products of Dodgson polynomials to a much simpler expression involving powers of the Kirchhoff polynomial. These identities can be applied to the parametric integrand for quantum electrodynamics, simplifying it significantly. This is worked out here in detail on the example of superficially renormalised photon propagator Feynman graphs, but works much more generally.
