A naive expansion by regions may break down due to divergences not regulated by the spacetime dimension, exemplified by the rapidity divergences. A criterion to identify unregulated divergences is provided in this article. The analysis is conducted using both parametric and Mellin-Barnes representations, leading to a consistent conclusion. Based on this analysis, it is proven that {\\it the presence of unregulated divergences implies the degeneracies of regions}, which may help to explain phenomena like the collinear anomaly.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-06-17T19:44:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "feynman integrals", "explain phenomena", "small parameters", "rapidity divergences", "integrand level" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
