Specializations of partial differential equations for Feynman integrals
Abstract
Starting from the Mellin-Barnes integral representation of a Feynman integral depending on set of kinematic variables z_i, we derive a system of partial differential equations w.r.t.\ new variables x_j, which parameterize the differentiable constraints z_i=y_i(x_j). In our algorithm, the powers of propagators can be considered as arbitrary parameters. Our algorithm can also be used for the reduction of multiple hypergeometric sums to sums of lower dimension, finding special values and reduction equations of hypergeometric functions in a singular locus of continuous variables, or finding systems of partial differential equations for master integrals with arbitrary powers of propagators. As an illustration, we produce a differential equation of fourth order in one variable for the one-loop two-point Feynman diagram with two different masses and arbitrary propagator powers.
