Abstract
Abstract The computational cost associated with reducing tensor integrals to scalar integrals using the Passarino-Veltman method is dominated by the diagonalisation of large systems of equations. These systems of equations are sized according to the number of independent tensor elements that can be constructed using the metric and external momenta. In this article, we present a closed-form solution of this diagonalisation problem in arbitrary tensor integrals. We employ a basis of tensors whose building blocks are the external momentum vectors and a metric tensor transverse to the space of external momenta. The scalar integral coefficients of the basis tensors are obtained by mapping the basis elements to the elements of an orthogonal dual basis. This mapping is succinctly expressed through a formula that resembles the ordering of operators in Wick’s theorem. Finally, we provide examples demonstrating the application of our tensor reduction formula to Feynman diagrams in QCD 2 → 2 scattering processes, specifically up to three loops.
