abstract
Contour integrals of rational functions over ${\cal M}_{0,n}$, the moduli space of $n$-punctured spheres, have recently appeared at the core of the tree-level S-matrix of massless particles in arbitrary dimensions. The contour is determined by the critical points of a certain Morse function on ${\cal M}_{0,n}$. The integrand is a general rational function of the puncture locations with poles of arbitrary order as two punctures coincide. In this note we provide an algorithm for the analytic computation of any such integral. The algorithm uses three ingredients: an operation we call general KLT, Petersen's theorem applied to the existence of a 2-factor in any 4-regular graph and Hamiltonian decompositions of certain 4-regular graphs. The procedure is iterative and reduces the computation of a general integral to that of simple building blocks. These are integrals which compute double-color-ordered partial amplitudes in a bi-adjoint cubic scalar theory.

Two-Loop Scattering Amplitudes: Double-Forward Limit and Colour-Kinematics Duality
Two-loop Yang-Mills and gravity integrands are constructed from tree-level trivalent diagrams via a double-forward limit, with multiplicity factors that make the loop-level colour-kinematics duality manifest.

Scalar-Graviton Amplitudes
The paper gives recursive, covariant, D-dimensional tree amplitudes for two massive scalars and any number of gluons or gravitons, extending known four-dimensional results.
