Abstract

Induced by three gluons symmetry, Mandelstam variables ss, tt, uu symmetric expressions are widely involved in collider physics, especially in heavy quarkonium physics. In this work we study general form of ss, tt, uu symmetric polynomials, and find that they can be expressed as polynomials where the symmetry is manifest. The general form is then used to simplify expressions which asymptotically reduces the length of original expression to one-sixth. Based on the general form, we reproduce the exact differential cross section of J/ψJ/\psi hadron production at leading order in v2v^2 up to four unknown constant numbers by simple analysis. Furthermore, we prove that differential cross section at higher order in v2v^2 is proportional to that at leading order. This proof explains the proportion relation at next-to-leading order in v2v^2 found in previous work and generalizes it to all order.
