  • The expansion of V3 and Vt3 in the near collinear limit v -> 0, as a function of T, F and S, through order T^3, in a different format (gzipped): V_T3.gz


  • Near collinear/soft limits
  • The expansion of V3 and Vt3 in the near collinear limit v -> 0, as a function of T, F and S, through order T^5, but also expanded around S=0 (gzipped): V3_TS.gz
  • Same order T^5 expansion for the two-loop functions V2 and Vt2 (gzipped): V2_TS.gz
  • The advantage of these formulas is that all the harmonic polylogarithms (HPLs) are gone, there are only T, S, F, lnT = ln(T), lnS = ln(S), and the Riemann zeta values z2, z3, z4, z5 and z6. And a lot of big rational numbers.


  • Multi-Regge limit
  • The transcendental functions p_n^{(L)} and q_n^{(L)} are given through three loops in terms of single-valued harmonic polylogarithms (SVHPLs) NMHVMRK.m
