abstract
Virtual two-loop corrections to scattering amplitudes are a key ingredient to precision physics at collider experiments. We compute the full set of planar master integrals relevant to five-point functions in massless QCD, and use these to derive an analytical expression for the two-loop five-gluon all-plus-helicity amplitude. After subtracting terms that are related to the universal infrared and ultraviolet pole structure, we obtain a remarkably simple and compact finite remainder function, consisting only of dilogarithms.

Two-loop all-plus helicity amplitudes for self-dual Higgs plus gluons are obtained via four-dimensional unitarity cuts into one-loop and tree amplitudes plus finite-field tensor reduction.
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.
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.
Local subtraction reduces pseudo-evanescent Feynman integrals to products of one-loop integrals or one-fold integrals, with the finite part of the two-loop all-plus five-point amplitude arising solely from ultraviolet regions after infrared cancellations.
Chebyshev polynomial approximations with adaptive sampling solve canonical differential equations for Feynman integrals, demonstrated to be stable and competitive for two-loop five-point cases in double precision.
Characterizes numerators yielding finite or evanescent massless pentabox integrals, gives compact generators via momentum basis and Gram determinants, and evaluates lowest-rank cases in polylogarithms and pentagon functions.
The paper decomposes two-loop Yang-Mills gluon amplitudes into color structures via trace and structure-constant bases and organizes relations between the resulting partial amplitudes.
The report reviews progress since 2021 in fixed-order computations for LHC applications and identifies processes requiring missing higher-order corrections to match anticipated experimental precision.
