Subject: Re: ?
Good evening (according to Munich time),
Rolf "delegated" the development of FeynCalc to me since some time,
so he is now more acting as a supervisor, while I do the coding.
First of all let me remark, that the amplitude for the first diagram
does not look correct to me. I can only guess, what routing of momenta
was meant here, but assuming that it is
mu
/|\ /|~~~~~~~~ -> p
q | / |
| / | /|\
~~~~~~~~~~/ | | p-q
| \la | |
| \ |
-q \|/ \ |
\|~~~~~~~~ -> -p
nu
the amplitude should be written as
g1 = GluonGhostVertex[{0, la, a}, {q, la1, a1}, {-q, la2, a2}] //
Explicit;
g2 = GluonGhostVertex[{p, mu, b}, {-q, mu1, b1}, {q - p, mu2, b2}] //
Explicit;
g3 = GluonGhostVertex[{-p, nu, c}, {p - q, nu1, c1}, {q, nu2, c2}] //
Explicit
gp = g1*g2*g3 // Contract // Explicit // Simplify
g12 = GhostPropagator[q, a1, b2] // Explicit
g23 = GhostPropagator[p - q, b1, c2] // Explicit;
g31 = GhostPropagator[q, c1, a2] // Explicit;
gpro = g12*g23*g31 // FeynAmpDenominatorCombine;
tp = gpro*gp // Contract // SUNSimplify // Simplify
i.e. in my view g2 and g3t in the attached notebook need to be corrected.
One can check this explicitly by comparing to the FeynArts output (
on a new kernel):
$LoadFeynArts = True;
<< FeynCalc`
$FAVerbose = False;
top = CreateTopologies[1, 1 -> 2,
ExcludeTopologies -> {WFCorrections, SelfEnergies, Tadpoles}];
diags = InsertFields[top, {V[5]} -> {V[5], V[5]}, Model -> "SMQCD",
InsertionLevel -> {Particles},
ExcludeParticles -> {F[__], S[_], V[_], U[1 | 2 | 3 | 4]}];
Paint[diags, ColumnsXRows -> {2, 1}, SheetHeader -> False,
SheetHeader -> None, Numbering -> None, ImageSize -> {512, 256}];
amps = FCFAConvert[
CreateFeynAmp[diags, Truncated -> True, GaugeRules -> {},
PreFactor -> 1], IncomingMomenta -> {p1},
OutgoingMomenta -> {p2, p3}, LoopMomenta -> {q},
DropSumOver -> True, UndoChiralSplittings -> True,
ChangeDimension -> D, List -> True, SMP -> True,
LorentzIndexNames -> {\[Lambda], \[Mu], \[Nu]}] // Contract //
SUNSimplify
amps[[2]] /. p3 -> -p2 /. p2 -> p
Notice that here the prefactor 1/(2Pi)^D is understood but not written
down explicitly.
My second remark is that the replacement D->4 should not be done when
the result contains Passarino-Veltman function multiplied by polynomials
in D. As PaVe funtions have poles in 1/Eps, taking the limit naively by just
putting D=4 leads to the wrong finite part in the final result.
As to the correctness of the result for the 3-gluon vertex, I currently
do not have a source the values of for both pieces separately at hand.
However, I believe that the result returned by FeynCalc is correct,
including the overall prefactor. A simple way to check it, is to look at
the UV-part of the ghost triangle, which can be found e.g. in Pascual
and Tarrach, QCD: Renormalization for Practitioner, Eq III.45
The 3-gluon vertex function (with all momenta ingoing) can be
parametrized as
"diagram" = i g T^{mu nu si}_{a b c}
with
T^{mu nu si}_{a b c} = - i f_abc (g^{mu nu} (p-q)^si + g^{nu si} (q-k)^mu +
g^{nu si} (q-k)^mu (k-p)^nu ) T1(p^2,q^2,k^2)
According to Pascual and Tarrach the UV part of T1(p^2,q^2,k^2) is given by
g^2/(4 Pi)^2 CA/8 1/(3 Eps)
By making the momenta p2 and p3 of the FeynArts amplitude ingoing
amps2 = (amps /. {p2 -> -p2, p3 -> -p3});
doing the tensor decomposition
ampsPT = (TID[#, q, ToPaVe -> True, UsePaVeBasis -> True] & /@ amps2);
and extracting the UV parts of the PaVe functions (c.f.
arXiv:hep-ph/0609282 for tabulated results)
uvParts = {PaVe[
1, {SPD[p2, p2], SPD[p2, p2] + 2 SPD[p2, p3] + SPD[p3, p3],

PaVeAutoReduce -> True] -> 0};
ampsPT2 = ampsPT /. FCI[uvParts]
ampsPTUVpart1 = Total[ampsPT2] // FCE // Collect2[#, {Epsilon, MTD}] &
we obtain
-((CA (2 FVD[p2, \[Nu]] + FVD[p3, \[Nu]]) MTD[\[Lambda], \[Mu]] SMP[
"g_s"]^3 SUNF[a, b, c])/(384 EpsilonUV \[Pi]^2)) + (
CA (FVD[p2, \[Mu]] + 2 FVD[p3, \[Mu]]) MTD[\[Lambda], \[Nu]] SMP[
"g_s"]^3 SUNF[a, b, c])/(384 EpsilonUV \[Pi]^2) + (
CA (FVD[p2, \[Lambda]] - FVD[p3, \[Lambda]]) MTD[\[Mu], \[Nu]] SMP[
"g_s"]^3 SUNF[a, b, c])/(384 EpsilonUV \[Pi]^2)
this can be further simplified by exploiting the kinematics p1+p2+p3 = 0
ampsPTUVpart2 =
ampsPTUVpart1 /. {FVD[p2, i_] + 2 FVD[p3, i_] :>
FVD[p3, i] - FVD[p1, i],
FVD[p3, i_] + 2 FVD[p2, i_] :> FVD[p2, i] - FVD[p1, i]}
The Lorentz structure of the vertex function from Pascual and Tarrach is
given by
PTVertexFuLorentzStruct[{p_, q_, k_}, {mu_, nu_, si_}, {a_, b_,
c_}] :=
-I SUNF[a, b,
c] (MTD[mu, nu] FVD[p - q, si] + MTD[nu, si] FVD[q - k, mu] +
MTD[si, mu] FVD[k - p, nu])
so the UV part of T1(p^2,q^2,k^2) reads
Cancel[FCI[ExpandScalarProduct[ampsPTUVpart2]]/
ExpandScalarProduct[
FCI[PTVertexFuLorentzStruct[{p1, p2,
p3}, {\[Lambda], \[Mu], \[Nu]}, {a, b, c}]]]] // Simplify
res = %/(I SMP["g_s"])
comparing this to the result from the book we see the full agreement
PTGhostTriangleResult = SMP["g_s"]^2/(4 Pi)^2 CA/8 1/(3 EpsilonUV)
res - PTGhostTriangleResult
(* gives 0*)
So everything should be correct. I hope this helps to clarify the
discrepancy.
Cheers,
Vladyslav
