Abstract
We solve the Landau equations to find the singularities of nine three-loop 7-point graphs that arise as relaxations of the graph studied in arXiv:2211.16425. Along the way we establish that equivalence fails for certain branches of solutions to the Landau equations. We find two graphs with singularities outside the heptagon symbol alphabet; in particular they are not cluster variables of . We compare maximal residues of scalar graphs exhibiting these singularities to those in super-Yang-Mills theory in order to probe their cancellation from its amplitudes.
