Abstract
We formulate and prove Cutkosky’s Theorem regarding the discontinuity of Feynman integrals in the massive one-loop case up to the involved intersection index. This is done by applying the techniques to treat singular integrals developed in Fotiadi et al. (Topology 4(2):159–191, 1965) . We write one-loop integrals as an integral of a holomorphic family of holomorphic forms over a compact cycle. Then, we determine at which points simple pinches occur and explicitly compute a representative of the corresponding vanishing sphere. This also yields an algorithm to compute the Landau surface of a one-loop graph without explicitly solving the Landau equations. We also discuss the bubble, triangle and box graph in detail.
