Generalized Harmonic, Cyclotomic, and Binomial Sums, their Polylogarithms and Special Numbers
read the original abstract
A survey is given on mathematical structures which emerge in multi-loop Feynman diagrams. These are multiply nested sums, and, associated to them by an inverse Mellin transform, specific iterated integrals. Both classes lead to sets of special numbers. Starting with harmonic sums and polylogarithms we discuss recent extensions of these quantities as cyclotomic, generalized (cyclotomic), and binomially weighted sums, associated iterated integrals and special constants and their relations.

The $\mu$-extension of iterated integrals and nested sums
The authors construct μ-extensions of iterated integrals and nested sums over multiple alphabets, showing that they map polynomially in μ into the original function space (except for square-root cases) while preservin...
