Exact results for $$ {Z}_m^{\mathrm{OS}} $$ and $$ {Z}_2^{\mathrm{OS}} $$ with two mass scales and up to three loops
Abstract We consider the on-shell mass and wave function renormalization constants $$ {Z}_m^{\mathrm{OS}} $$ Z m OS and $$ {Z}_2^{\mathrm{OS}} $$ Z 2 OS up to three-loop order allowing for a second non-zero quark mass. We obtain analytic results in terms of harmonic polylogarithms and iterated integrals with the additional letters $$ \sqrt{1-{\tau}^2} $$ 1 − τ 2 and $$ \sqrt{1-{\tau}^2}/\tau $$ 1 − τ 2 / τ which extends the findings from ref. [1] where only numerical expressions are presented. Furthermore, we provide terms of order $$ \mathcal{O} $$ O (ϵ2) and $$ \mathcal{O} $$ O (ϵ) at two- and three-loop order which are crucial ingredients for a future four-loop calculation. Compact results for the expansions around the zero-mass, equal-mass and large-mass cases allow for a fast high-precision numerical evaluation.
