The two-mass contribution to the three-loop gluonic operator matrix element Agg,Q(3)

We calculate the two-mass QCD contributions to the massive operator matrix element Agg,Q at O(αs3) in analytic form in Mellin N- and z-space, maintaining the complete dependence on the heavy quark mass ratio. These terms are important ingredients for the matching relations of the variable flavor num...
