Abstract:We compute the leading (first-type Landau) singularities of a certain four-loop 7-point graph that is related to the 7-point “ziggurat” graph by the graphical moves familiar from equivalent circuit theory. We find perfect agreement with a subset of the “heptagon symbol alphabet” that has appeared in the context of planar $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 4 super-Yang-Mills theory. The remaining heptagon symbol letters are found in its subleading Landau singularities, which we address in … Show more
