Abstract

In the asymptotic limit Q2≫m2, the heavy flavor Wilson coefficients for deep–inelastic scattering factorize into the massless Wilson coefficients and the universal heavy flavor operator matrix elements resulting from light–cone expansion. In this way, one can calculate all but the power corrections in k(m2/Q2), k>0. The heavy flavor operator matrix elements are known to NLO. We present the last 2–loop result missing in the unpolarized case for the renormalization at 3–loops and first 3–loop results for terms proportional to the color factor in Mellin–space. In this calculation, the corresponding parts of the NNLO anomalous dimensions [S.A. Larin, T. van Ritbergen and J.A.M. Vermaseren, Nucl. Phys. B427 (1994) 41; S. Moch, J.A.M. Vermaseren and A.
