Mellin-Barnes representation Converse Mapping theorem and Feynman's diagrams – 25 th October 06 Different methods How to obtain an asymptotic expansion ? 1. Parameterisation of Feynman’s graphs ❏ Divergences on parameters in naïve ❏ Quickly impossible to calculate developments 2. Dimensional regularisation ❏ Abandon of Feynman’s parameters: all integrals converge ❏ Immediate calculation on momenta (integration by part) 3. Effective Theory ❏ Replacement of the total theory by ❏ Problems with the « matching » pertinent operators 4. Sub-Graphs strategy (Smirnov) ❏ Taylor’s Expansions in pertinent parameters ❏ Tedious calculations but we can use a computer 2
