Master integrals for massless three-loop form factors

The quark and gluon form factors are the simplest objects containing infrared divergencies at higher orders in massless quantum field theory. They are usually computed in dimensional regularization with D=4-2ε, where the divergencies appear as poles in ε. At each order in the perturbative expansion, the form factors can be expressed as a linear combination of Master Integrals. We identify and present all Master Integrals that arise in the computation of the form factors at the three-loop level. We stress some important features such as the presence of bubble insertions or planar vs. crossed topologies. We then present the results of the computation and outline the calculation, with special focus on methods related to hypergeometric functions and Mellin Barnes integrations. (orig.)
