We consider all non-singlet contributions as well as those singlet contributions where the external current couples to a massive quark loop. We apply a semi-numerical method which is based on expansions around singular and regular kinematical points. They are matched at intermediate values of the squared partonic center-of-mass energy $s$ which allows to cover the whole kinematic range for negative and positive values of $s$. Our method permits a systematic increase of the precision by varying the expansion depth and the choice of the intermediate matching points. In our current set-up we have at least seven significant digits for the finite contribution of all form factors. We present our results as a combination of series expansions and interpolation functions which allows for a straightforward use in practical applications.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.00027v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.00027v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"singlet-and-non-singlet-three-loop-massive","repo_url":"https://gitlab.com/formfactors3l/formfactors3l","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
