The simplicity of maximally supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory makes it an ideal theoretical laboratory for developing computational tools, which eventually find their way to QCD applications. In this contribution, we continue the investigation of a recent proposal by Basso, Sever and Vieira, for the nonperturbative description of its planar scattering amplitudes, as an expansion around collinear kinematics. The method of G. Papathanasiou, J. High Energy Phys.1311, 150 (2013), arXiv:1310.5735, for computing the integrals the latter proposal predicts for the leading term in the expansion of the six-point remainder function, is extended to one of the subleading terms. In particular, we focus on the contribution of the two-gluon bound state in the dual flux tube picture, proving its general form at any order in the coupling, and providing explicit expressions up to six loops. These are included in the ancillary file accompanying the version of this paper on the arXiv.

Abstract Two-loop MHV amplitudes in planar $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 supersymmetric Yang Mills theory are known to exhibit many intriguing forms of cluster-algebraic structure. We leverage this structure to upgrade the symbols of the eight- and nine-particle amplitudes to complete analytic functions. This is done by systematically projecting onto the components of these amplitudes that take different functional forms, and matching each component to an ansatz of multiple polylogarithms with negative cluster-coordinate arguments. The remaining additive constant can be determined analytically by comparing the collinear limit of each amplitude to known lower-multiplicity results. We also observe that the nonclassical part of each of these amplitudes admits a unique decomposition in terms of a specific A3 cluster polylogarithm, and explore the numerical behavior of the remainder function along lines in the positive region.
