Two loop four dimensional formulation of dimensionally regularized amplitudes in quantum chromodynamics

We propose a pure four-dimensional formulation (FDF) of the ddimensional regularization of one and two loop scattering amplitudes in quantum chromodynamics. In our formulation particles propagating inside the loops are represented by massive internal states regulating the divergences. The equivalenc...
