Abstract: (arXiv)
We present new analytic continuation formulas for the Appell double hypergeometric series where , which allows quadratic transformations of the Gauss hypergeometric function to be used in the intermediate steps of the derivation. Such formulas are of relevance to loop calculations of quantum field theory where they can been used, for instance, to obtain new series representations of the two-loop massive sunset Feynman diagram. The analytic continuation procedure introduced in this paper is also sufficiently general so as to find uses elsewhere.Note:
