Feynman Amplitudes in Periodically Compactified Spaces -- Spin 0

Abstract

We propose an extension of the Schwinger parametric representation for Feynman amplitudes in $D$ euclidean dimensions to a scenario where $d$ dimensions are compactified ($d<D$) through the introduction of periodic boundary conditions in space. We obtain two valid representations, one useful near the bulk (large compactification length) and another useful near the dimensional reduction (small compactification length). Also, to illustrate, we exhibit some Feynman amplitudes up to three loops in a compactified scalar field theory.
