abstract
The existence of a finite basis of algebraically independent one-loop integrals has underpinned important developments in the computation of one-loop amplitudes in field theories and gauge theories in particular. We give an explicit construction reducing integrals to a finite basis for planar integrals at two loops, both to all orders in the dimensional regulator e, and also when all integrals are truncated to O(e). We show how to reorganize integration-by-parts equations to obtain elements of the first basis efficiently, and how to use Gram determinants to obtain additional linear relations reducing this all-orders basis to the second one. The techniques we present should apply to non-planar integrals, to integrals with massive propagators, and beyond two loops as well.

Leading-colour two-loop virtual amplitudes for ttbar+jet are extracted analytically via finite-field evaluations and differential equations, then packaged in a C++ library with new numerical integration techniques.
Kira 2.0 implements finite-field coefficient reconstruction for IBP reductions and improved user-equation handling, yielding lower memory use and faster performance on state-of-the-art problems.
First numerical evaluation of planar two-loop helicity amplitudes for W-boson plus four partons using finite-field reduction and sector decomposition on a subset of master integrals.
Analytic expressions for the finite remainders of two-loop leading-color helicity amplitudes in Higgs plus two-jet production are obtained in the heavy-top effective theory using numerical unitarity and a new partial-fraction algorithm.
Inconsistency in spanning cuts for IBP reductions arises because cuts can make hidden terms in IBP relations finite via pinch singularities that cancel vanishing parameters, linked to hidden linear relations between propagators, for which an algorithm is provided.
A closed formula computes static post-Newtonian corrections at arbitrary odd orders in gravity, yielding the explicit seventh post-Newtonian potential that matches an independent diagrammatic method.
