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 $Y{-}\Delta$ equivalence fails for certain…
We advance the exploration of cluster-algebraic patterns in the building blocks of scattering amplitudes in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. In particular we conjecture that, given a maximal cut of a loop amplitude, Landau…
We use the leading singularity technique to determine the planar six-particle two-loop MHV amplitude in N=4 super Yang-Mills in terms of a simple basis of integrals. Our result for the parity even part of the amplitude agrees with the one…
