On multi-propagator angular integrals (2508.00693v1)
Abstract: We study multi-propagator angular integrals, a class of phase-space integrals relevant to processes with multiple observed final states and a test-bed for transferring loop-integral technology to phase space integrals without reversed unitarity. We present an Euler integral representation similar to Lee-Pomeransky representation and explicitly describe a recursive IBP reduction and dimensional shift relations for the general case of $n$ denominators. On the level of master integrals, applying a differential equation approach, we explicitly calculate the previously unknown angular integrals with four denominators for any number of masses to finite order in $\varepsilon$. Extending the idea of dimensional recurrence, we explore the decomposition of angular integrals into branch integrals reducing the number of scales in the master integrals from $(n+1)n/2$ to $n+1$. To showcase the potential of this method, we calculate the massless three denominator integral to establish all-order results in $\varepsilon$ including a resummation of soft logarithms.
