A Two-Loop Four-Gluon Helicity Amplitude in QCD
read the original abstract
We present the two-loop pure gauge contribution to the gluon-gluon scattering amplitude with maximal helicity violation. Our construction of the amplitude does not rely directly on Feynman diagrams, but instead uses its analytic properties in 4 - 2 epsilon dimensions. We evaluate the loop integrals appearing in the amplitude through O(epsilon^0) in terms of polylogarithms.

Pseudo-Evanescent Feynman Integrals from Local Subtraction
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...

On the spanning cuts consistency problem in the IBP reductions of Feynman integrals
Inconsistency in spanning cuts for IBP reductions arises because cuts can make hidden terms in IBP relations finite via pinch singularities that cancel vanishing parameters, linked to hidden linear relations between p...
