The formal scalelessness conjecture for monomials in Feynman integral families
The formal scalelessness conjecture for monomials in Feynman integral families
Let be an -loop integral with nonnegative indices, and let be the propagator generators in the associated noncommutative rational double-shift algebra. For a sector with active propagators, a monomial is formally scaleless with respect to when its normal form under the Gröbner basis vanishes after setting and . Formal scalelessness conjecture. A monomial is formally scaleless if and only if
is scaleless. Scaleless integrals vanish in dimensional regularization, so this would identify formally scaleless monomials algebraically with integrals that vanish because the corresponding sector has no mass scale. The source presents this as a conjecture motivated by computations in the noncommutative rational double-shift algebra; no resolution is supplied.
