abstract

We compute the symbol of the first two-loop amplitudes in planar ${\cal N}=4$ SYM with algebraic letters, the eight-point NMHV amplitude (or the dual octagon Wilson loops). We show how to apply $\bar{Q}$ equations for computing the differential of two-loop $n$-point NMHV amplitudes and present the result for n=8 explicitly. The symbol alphabet for octagon consists of 180 independent rational letters and 18 algebraic ones involving Gram-determinant square roots. We comment on all-loop predictions for final entries and aspects of the result valid for all multiplicities.

  1. Cluster Algebras, Cube Roots, and Energy Correlators in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Infinite mutation sequences of the cluster quiver Q3 generate the six cubic algebraic symbol letters of the near-collinear four-point energy correlator in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory.

  2. Double spacelike collinear limits from multi-Regge kinematics

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The double spacelike collinear limit of planar N=4 SYM is governed by a generalized splitting amplitude that equals the six-point BDS-subtracted amplitude in multi-Regge kinematics.

  3. Hexagonal Wilson loop with Lagrangian insertion at two loops in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory

    hep-th 2025-05 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    The two-loop symbol for the hexagonal Wilson loop with a Lagrangian insertion in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory is uniquely fixed by a symbol bootstrap and satisfies the expected Steinmann relations.
