We compute the integrand of the full-colour, two-loop, five-gluon scattering amplitude in pure Yang-Mills theory with all helicities positive, using generalized unitarity cuts. Tree-level BCJ relations, satisfied by amplitudes appearing in the cuts, allow us to deduce all the necessary non-planar information for the full-colour amplitude from known planar data. We present our result in terms of irreducible numerators, with colour factors derived from the multi-peripheral colour decomposition. Finally, the leading soft divergences are checked to reproduce the expected infrared behaviour.

  1. Quantum anomalies from three-point on-shell bootstrap

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    On-shell three-point bootstrap recovers Weyl, chiral, diffeomorphism and Lorentz anomalies up to constant prefactors and reproduces gauge-anomaly cancellation while excluding Pontryagin densities from the Weyl anomaly.

  2. Pseudo-Evanescent Feynman Integrals from Local Subtraction

    hep-th 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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...

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The maximally-transcendental part of planar two-loop six-gluon MHV QCD amplitudes is bootstrapped at symbol level and expressed in a 137-letter alphabet.

  4. Planar loop integrands from cuts in $D$ dimensions

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Möbius-inversion formula on the refinement poset reconstructs planar L-loop n-point integrands as sums over non-scaleless scalar graphs dressed by D-dimensional cuts, demonstrated for Yang-Mills theory.

  5. Color Decompositions of the Two Loop Amplitudes of Yang-Mills theory

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.
