abstract

The analytic structure of scattering amplitudes is restricted by Steinmann relations, which enforce the vanishing of certain discontinuities of discontinuities. We show that these relations dramatically simplify the function space for the hexagon function bootstrap in planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Armed with this simplification, along with the constraints of dual conformal symmetry and Regge exponentiation, we obtain the complete five-loop six-particle amplitude.

Kinematics, cluster algebras and Feynman integrals

hep-th · 2021-12-22 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Cluster algebras for planar conformal kinematics are identified as G(4,n) subalgebras and used to bootstrap the symbol of an 8-point three-loop wheel integral via D3 and new algebraic letters.

Tracing Transcendentality in Protected Correlators of N=4 SYM

hep-th · 2026-06-16 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Explicit two-loop computations of protected correlators in N=4 SYM yield a universal one-loop term and a planar extrapolation at arbitrary dimension controlled by stress-tensor multiplet count.

Multi-Loop Negative Geometries

hep-th · 2026-05-27 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Explicit three-loop computation of negative geometries for F(g,z) with all-loop resummation of one-cycle diagrams and extraction of the cusp anomalous dimension via z-integration.
