We generalize the relation between discontinuities of scattering amplitudes and cut diagrams to cover sequential discontinuities (discontinuities of discontinuities) in arbitrary momentum channels. The new relations are derived using time-ordered perturbation theory, and hold at phase-space points where all cut momentum channels are simultaneously accessible. As part of this analysis, we explain how to compute sequential discontinuities as monodromies and explore the use of the monodromy group in characterizing the analytic properties of Feynman integrals. We carry out a number of cross-checks of our new formulas in polylogarithmic examples, in some cases to all loop orders.

  1. Bootstrapping form factor squared in ${\cal N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A bootstrap using soft and collinear limits fixes the tree-level form factor squared in planar N=4 SYM up to N=6, unifying loop integrands from two-point master diagrams.

  2. Comparison between Causal and Acausal Diffusion: a Schwinger-Keldysh Effective Field Theory Perspective

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    One-loop real-time density correlations in causal diffusion reduce to known acausal results in the overdamped limit and yield a new universal scaling function in the underdamped limit.
