The 4-loop contribution to the slope of the Dirac form factor in QED has been evaluated with 1100 digits of precision. The value is $ {m^2}F_1^{(4)'}(0) = {\rm{0}}{\rm{.886545673946443145836821730610315359390424032660064745}} \cdots {\left( {{\alpha \over \pi }} \right)^4} $. We have also obtained a semi-analytical fit to the numerical value. The expression contains harmonic polylogiπ2iπ iπ arithms of argument $ {e^{{{i\pi } \over 3}}},{e^{{{2i\pi } \over 3}}},{e^{{{i\pi } \over 2}}} $, one-dimensional integrals of products of complete elliptic integrals and six finite parts of master integrals, evaluated up to 4800 digits. We show the correction to the energy levels of the hydrogen atom due to the slope.

In this paper I briefly describe the results of the numerical evaluation of the mass-independent 4-loop contribution to the electrong-2 in QED with 1100 digits of precision. In particular I also show the semi-analytical fit to the numerical value, which contains harmonic polylogarithms of eiπ/3, e2iπ/3and eiπ/2one-dimensional integrals of products of complete elliptic integrals and six finite parts of master integrals, evaluated up to 4800 digits. I give also some information about the methods and the program used.


New quantization conditions for the energy levels of a rigid diatomic dipole molecule in a homogeneous electric field of arbitrary strength, obtained by means of a phaseintegral method involving phase-integral approximations of arbitrary order generated from two particular choices of the base function, are expressed in terms of complete elliptic integrals in the first, third and fifth order of the phase-integral approximation. Previous results, derived for one convenient choice of the parameter £0 in the base function, namely £0 = 1/2|m|, where m is the magnetic quantum number, are used, and new formulas are derived for the other convenient choice £0 = 0. The accuracy of the eigenvalues obtained from the quantization conditions is demonstrated in a number of diagrams.

In this paper, we have developed a formalism to obtain the Schrödinger equation for a particle in a frame undergoing a uniform acceleration in an otherwise flat Minkowski spacetime geometry. We have presented an exact solution of the equation and obtained the eigenfunctions and the corresponding eigenvalues. It has been observed that the Schrödinger equation can be reduced to a one-dimensional hydrogen atom problem. Whereas, the quantized energy levels are exactly identical with that of a one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator. Hence, considering transitions, we have predicted the existence of a new kind of quanta, which will either be emitted or absorbed if the particles get excited or de-excited, respectively.

Abstract We calculate the master integrals for bipartite cuts of the three-loop propagator QED diagrams. These master integrals determine the spectral density of the photon self energy. Our results are expressed in terms of the iterated integrals, which, apart from the 4m cut (the cut of 4 massive lines), reduce to Goncharov’s polylogarithms. The master integrals for 4m cut have been calculated in our previous paper in terms of the one-fold integrals of harmonic polylogarithms and complete elliptic integrals. We provide the threshold and high-energy asymptotics of the master integrals found, including those for 4m cut.

We study the analogue of the Aharonov–Bohm effect for bound states for a neutral particle with a permanent magnetic dipole moment interacting with an external field. We consider a neutral particle confined to moving between two coaxial cylinders and show the dependence of the energy levels on the Aharonov-Casher quantum flux. Moreover, we show that the same flux dependence of the bound states can be found when the neutral particle is confined to a one-dimensional quantum ring and a quantum dot, and we also calculate the persistent currents in each case.

One of the most important applications of elliptic integrals in engineering mathematics is their usage to solve integrals of the form  (Eq. 1), where  is a rational algebraic function and  is a polynomial of degree  with no repeated roots. Nowadays, incomplete and complete elliptic integrals of first kind are estimated with high accuracy using advanced calculators.  In this paper, several techniques are discussed to show how definite integrals of the form (Eq. 1) can be converted to elliptic integrals of the first kind, and hence be estimated for optimal values. Indeed, related examples are provided in each step to help clarification.

We study the monotonicity for certain combinations of generalized elliptic integrals, thus generalizing analogous well-known results for classical complete elliptic integrals, and prove a conjecture put forward by Heikkala, Vamanamurthy and Vuorinen.
