====== TTP08-34 Fermionic contributions to the three-loop static potential ======
 
 
   <hidden TTP08-34  Fermionic contributions to the three-loop static potential > We consider the three-loop corrections to the static potential which are induced by a closed fermion loop. For the reduction of the occurring integrals a combination of the Gr\"obner and Laporta algorithm has been used and the evaluation of the master integrals has been performed with the help of the Mellin-Barnes technique. The fermionic three-loop corrections amount to 2% of the tree-level result for top quarks, 8% for bottom quarks and 27% for the charm quark system.
