Abstract: (Elsevier)
We show how massless two-loop on-shell vertex functions can be calculated in a very elegant way if mass and infrared singularities are regularized by n -dimensional regularization. Using dispersion methods one is able to express the Feynman integrals in a product of gamma functions. As an application of our techniques we have calculated a two-loop on-shell form factor. Its infrared behaviour will be compared with the predictions of some resummation formulae which have been derived in the literature.
