Applied asymptotic expansions in momenta and masses (Q699565)

The problem of obtaining asymptotic expansions of Feynman integrals in various limits of momenta and masses is a typical mathematical problem in elementary-particle physics. In this book, it is explained how this problems is solved. There are nine chapters in the book. It starts with the concept of Feynman integrals (including regularization, renormalization and evaluation). Then the author introduces two basic strategies for expanding Feynman integrals in infinite series in powers and logarithms. The main chapters of the book are devoted to typical Euclidean limits and typical pseudo-Euclidean on-shell and threshold limits. The structure of the main chapters is the same: the author starts with one-loop examples, then formulates prescriptions for a given limit, presents two-loop examples and, finally, goes up to the operator level and discusses applications to physical problems (heavy quark effective theory, non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics, etc.). The final chapter contains a presentation of some alternative approaches.
