Abstract

We describe the geometry of the leading singularity locus of the traintrack integral family directly in momentum twistor space. For the two-loop case, known as the elliptic double box, the leading singularity locus is a genus one curve, which we obtain as an intersection of two quadrics in P3\mathbb{P}^{3}. At three loops, we obtain a K3 surface which arises as a branched surface over two genus-one curves in P1×P1\mathbb{P}^{1} \times \mathbb{P}^{1}. We present an analysis of its properties. We also discuss the geometry at higher loops and the supersymmetrization of the construction.
