We investigate the consequences of elliptic leading singularities for the unitarity-based representations of two-loop amplitudes in planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We show that diagonalizing with respect to these leading singularities ensures that the integrand basis is term-wise pure (suitably generalized, to the elliptic multiple polylogarithms, as necessary). We also investigate an alternative strategy based on diagonalizing a basis of integrands on differential forms; this strategy, while neither term-wise Yangian-invariant nor pure, offers several advantages in terms of complexity.

We extend the applications of prescriptive unitarity beyond the planar limit to provide local, polylogarithmic, integrand-level representations of six-particle MHV scattering amplitudes in both maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and gravity. The integrand basis we construct is diagonalized on a spanning set of non-vanishing leading singularities that ensures the manifest matching of all soft-collinear singularities in both theories. As a consequence, this integrand basis naturally splits into infrared-finite and infrared-divergent parts, with hints toward an integrand-level exponentiation of infrared divergences. Importantly, we use the same basis of integrands for both theories, so that the presence or absence of residues at infinite loop momentum becomes a feature detectable by inspecting the cuts of the theory. Complete details of our results are provided as ancillary files. This work has been updated to take into account the results of [arXiv:1911.09106], which leads to a simpler and more uniform representation of these amplitudes.
We derive closed formulae for the first examples of non-algebraic, elliptic `leading singularities in planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and show that they are Yangian-invariant.
The three-loop four-point function of stress-tensor multiplets in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory contains two so far unknown, off-shell, conformal integrals, in addition to the known, ladder-type integrals. In this paper we evaluate the unknown integral s, thus obtaining the three-loop correlation function analytically. The integrals have the generic structure of rational functions multiplied by (multiple) polylogarithms. We use the idea of leading singularities to obtain the rational coefficients, the symbol - with an appropriate ansatz for its structure - as a means of characterising multiple polylogarithms, and the technique of asymptotic expansion of Feynman integrals to obtain the integrals in certain limits. The limiting behaviour uniquely fixes the symbols of the integrals, which we then lift to find the corresponding polylogarithmic functions. The final formulae are numerically confirmed. The techniques we develop can be applied more generally, and we illustrate this by analytically evaluating one of the integrals contributing to the same four-point function at four loops. This example shows a connection between the leading singularities and the entries of the symbol.

This talk reviewed some classic results and recent progress in the resummation of leading and nonleading enhancements in QCD cross sections and of poles in dimensionally-regularized hard-scattering amplitudes.

We study a Dirichlet problem for an elliptic equation defined by a degenerate coercive operator and a singular right-hand side. We will show that the right-hand side has some regularizing effects on the solutions, even if it is singular.
