The one-loop setting sun diagram with complex external momenta
We revisit the issue of analytically continuing Feynman integrals from Euclidean to Minkowski signature, allowing for generic complex momenta. Although this is well-known in terms of the Källén–Lehmann representation, we consider potential alternative takes on the same problem and discuss how these are not necessarily equivalent to the Källén–Lehmann integral outcome. We present our analysis for a simple enough case—the setting sun diagram in with a real mass at one-loop—but already with an eye out to the more general case with complex masses which will further complicate matters.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Physics presents original work in all areas of basic theoretic physics research. Ideas are developed and fully explored, and thorough treatment is given to first principles and ultimate applications. Annals of Physics emphasizes clarity and intelligibility in the articles it publishes, thus making them as accessible as possible. Readers familiar with recent developments in the field are provided with sufficient detail and background to follow the arguments and understand their significance.
The Editors of the journal cover all fields of theoretical physics. Articles published in the journal are typically longer than 20 pages.
