Coordinate space methods for the evaluation of Feynman diagrams in lattice field theory

Abstract

We describe an efficient position space technique to calculate lattice Feynman integrals in infinite volume. The method applies to diagrams with massless propagators. For illustration a set of two-loop integrals is worked out explicitly. An important ingredient is an observation of Vohwinkel that the free lattice propagator can be evaluated recursively and is expressible as a linear function of its values near the origin.
