摘要
Motivated by the foundational work of Tarasov, who pointed out that the algebraic relations of the type considered here can lead to functional reduction of Feynman integrals. We have suitably modified the method to be able to implement and automatize it and present a $\textit{Mathematica}$ package $\texttt{AlgRel.wl}$. The purpose of this package is to help derive the algebraic relations with arbitrary kinematic quantities, for the product of propagators. Under specific choices of the arbitrary parameters that appear in these relations, we can write the original integral with all massive propagators in general, as a sum of integrals which have fewer massive propagators. The resulting integrals are of reduced complexity for computational purposes. For the one-loop case, this would result in integrals with just one massive propagator. The method can also be applied to higher-loop integral using the loop-by-loop approach. We demonstrate the procedure and the results obtained using various one-loop and higher-loop examples. Due to the fact that the Feynman integrals are intimately related to the hypergeometric functions, a useful consequence of these algebraic relations is in deriving the sets of non-trivial reduction formulae. We present various such reduction formulae and further discuss how, many more such formulae can be obtained than described here. The $\texttt{AlgRel.wl}$ package and an example notebook $\texttt{Examples.nb}$ can be found at https://github.com/TanayPathak-17/Algebraic-relation-for-the-product-of-propagators
