We use Reshetikhin-Turaev graphical calculus to define Feynman diagrams and prove that asymptotic expansions of Gaussian integrals can be written as a sum over a suitable family of graphs. We discuss how different kinds of interactions give rise to different families of graphs. In particular, we show how symmetric and cyclic interactions lead to "ordinary" and "ribbon" graphs respectively. As an example, the 't Hooft-Kontsevich model for 2D quantum gravity is treated in some detail.

General results on asymptotic expansions of Feynman diagrams in momenta and/or masses are reviewed. It is shown how they are applied for calculation of massive diagrams.

The results of Ref. 1 are used to obtain full asymptotic expansions of Feynman diagrams renormalized within the MS scheme in the regimes when some of the masses and external momenta are large with respect to the others. The large momenta are Euclidean, and the expanded diagrams are regarded as distributions with respect to them. The small masses may be equal to zero. The As operation for integrals is defined and a simple combinatorial technique is developed to study its exponentiation. The As operation is used to obtain the corresponding expansions of arbitrary Green functions. Such expansions generalize and improve upon the well-known short-distance, operator-product expansions, the decoupling theorem etc.: e.g. the low-energy effective Lagrangians are obtained to all orders of the inverse heavy mass. The obtained expansions possess the property of perfect factorization of large and small parameters, which is essential for meaningful applications to phenomenology. As an auxiliary tool, the inversion of the R operation is constructed. The results are valid for arbitrary QFT models.
