Suspended

• Back in 2014 I started to calculate QCD time-like splitting functions at NNLO from the electron-positron annihilation process. (I have also completed preliminary calculations at NLO.) It turned out that to obtain a final result I need to calculate hundreds of Feynman integrals, a task that one can hardly solve manually. In order to automate it, I started work on Fuchsia and suspended the initial plans. With time Fuchsia became an independent project and took a major fraction of my time. I hope eventually to resume my calculations at some point.

• Axiloop package was written as my PhD project. It calculates one-loop contributions to the collinear splitting functions in QCD. Calculations are based on the Curci-Furmanski-Petronzio approach (details here) where the authors work in the light-cone axial gauge. In this gauge a new type of propagators appears — linear propagators — which introduce spurious (unphysical) singularities to the loop integrals. To overcome this issue and regularize singularities of this type we have developed a new regularization prescription with very nice properties.
