PolyLogTools — polylogs for the masses

TL;DR: In this article, the Hopf algebra of the multiple polylogarithms and the symbol map are discussed, as well as the construction of single valued multiple poly logarithm and an algorithm for finding fibration bases.

Numbers and functions in quantum field theory

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide scheme-independent counterterms for primitive log-divergent graphs in the theory of numbers and single-valued functions on the complex plane which arise in quantum field theory.

Bootstrapping the QCD soft anomalous dimension

TL;DR: In this paper, the soft anomalous dimension of scattering amplitudes is computed at three-loop order for massless partons by explicit evaluation of all relevant Feynman diagrams, up to an overall numerical factor using a bootstrap procedure.

Cluster adjacency and the four-loop NMHV heptagon

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors exploit the properties of cluster adjacency for scattering amplitudes in planar N = 4 ansatz and construct the symbol of the four-loop NMHV heptagon amplitude.

Multiple Modular Values and the relative completion of the fundamental group of $M_{1,1}$

Francis Brown
- 19 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established properties of the underlying theory of the full modular group: in particular, the relationship with special values of L-functions of modular forms at all positive integers and the action of the conjectural motivic Galois group via a certain group of automorphisms.
