We describe details of the renormalization of two-loop integrals relevant to the calculation of the nucleon mass in the framework of manifestly Lorentz-invariant chiral perturbation theory using infrared renormalization. It is shown that the renormalization can be performed while preserving all relevant symmetries, in particular chiral symmetry, and that renormalized diagrams respect the standard power counting rules. As an application we calculate the chiral expansion of the nucleon mass to order O(q^6).

We present the computation of a full set of planar five-point two-loop master integrals with one external mass. These integrals are an important ingredient for two-loop scattering amplitudes for two-jet-associated W-boson production at leading color in QCD. We provide a set of pure integrals together with differential equations in canonical form. We obtain analytic differential equations efficiently from numerical samples over finite fields, fitting an ansatz built from symbol letters. The symbol alphabet itself is constructed from cut differential equations and we find that it can be written in a remarkably compact form. We comment on the analytic properties of the integrals and confirm the extended Steinmann relations, which govern the double discontinuities of Feynman integrals, to all orders in $epsilon$. We solve the differential equations in terms of generalized power series on single-parameter contours in the space of Mandelstam invariants. This form of the solution trivializes the analytic continuation and the integrals can be evaluated in all kinematic regions with arbitrary numerical precision.
We present a new approach for obtaining very precise integration results for infrared vertex and box diagrams, where the integration is carried out directly without performing any analytic integration of Feynman parameters. Using an appropriate numerical integration routine with an extrapolation method, together with a multi-precision library, we have obtained integration results which agree with the analytic results to 10 digits even for such a very small photon mass as $10^{-150}$ GeV in the infrared vertex diagram.
We explore the influence of the current quark mass on observables in the low energy regime of hadronic interactions within a renormalization group analysis of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model in its bosonized form. We derive current quark mass expansions for the pion decay constant and the pion mass, and we recover analytically the universal logarithmic dependence. A numerical solution of the renormalization group flow equations enables us to determine effective low energy constants from the model. We find values consistent with the phenomenological estimates used in chiral perturbation theory.
We consider the Resonance Chiral Theory with one multiplet of scalar and pseudoscalar resonances, up to bilinear couplings in the resonance fields, and evaluate its beta-function at one-loop with the use of the background field method. Thus we also provide the full set of operators that renormalize the theory at one loop and render it finite.
We discuss the application of the complex-mass scheme to multi-loop diagrams in hadronic effective field theory by considering as an example a two-loop self-energy diagram. We show that the renormalized two-loop diagram satisfies the power counting.
