On the Resolution of Singularities of Multiple Mellin-Barnes Integrals
One of the two existing strategies of resolving singularities of multifold
Mellin-Barnes integrals in the dimensional regularization parameter, or a
parameter of the analytic regularization, is formulated in a modified form. The
corresponding algorithm is implemented as a Mathematica code MBresolve.mComment: LaTeX, 10 page
Form-factors of the sausage model obtained with bootstrap fusion from sine-Gordon theory
We continue the investigation of massive integrable models by means of the
bootstrap fusion procedure, started in our previous work on O(3) nonlinear
sigma model. Using the analogy with SU(2) Thirring model and the O(3) nonlinear
sigma model we prove a similar relation between sine-Gordon theory and a
one-parameter deformation of the O(3) sigma model, the sausage model. This
allows us to write down a free field representation for the
Zamolodchikov-Faddeev algebra of the sausage model and to construct an integral
representation for the generating functions of form-factors in this theory. We
also clear up the origin of the singularities in the bootstrap construction and
the reason for the problem with the kinematical poles.Comment: 16 pages, revtex; references added, some typos corrected. Accepted

Iteration of Planar Amplitudes in Maximally Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory at Three Loops and Beyond
We compute the leading-color (planar) three-loop four-point amplitude of N=4
supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in 4 - 2 epsilon dimensions, as a Laurent
expansion about epsilon = 0 including the finite terms. The amplitude was
constructed previously via the unitarity method, in terms of two Feynman loop
integrals, one of which has been evaluated already. Here we use the
Mellin-Barnes integration technique to evaluate the Laurent expansion of the
second integral. Strikingly, the amplitude is expressible, through the finite
terms, in terms of the corresponding one- and two-loop amplitudes, which
provides strong evidence for a previous conjecture that higher-loop planar N =
4 amplitudes have an iterative structure. The infrared singularities of the
amplitude agree with the predictions of Sterman and Tejeda-Yeomans based on
resummation. Based on the four-point result and the exponentiation of infrared
singularities, we give an exponentiated ansatz for the maximally
helicity-violating n-point amplitudes to all loop orders. The 1/epsilon^2 pole
in the four-point amplitude determines the soft, or cusp, anomalous dimension
at three loops in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The result confirms a
prediction by Kotikov, Lipatov, Onishchenko and Velizhanin, which utilizes the
leading-twist anomalous dimensions in QCD computed by Moch, Vermaseren and
Vogt. Following similar logic, we are able to predict a term in the three-loop
quark and gluon form factors in QCD.Comment: 54 pages, 7 figures. v2: Added references, a few additional words

New Relations for Gauge-Theory Amplitudes
We present an identity satisfied by the kinematic factors of diagrams
describing the tree amplitudes of massless gauge theories. This identity is a
kinematic analog of the Jacobi identity for color factors. Using this we find
new relations between color-ordered partial amplitudes. We discuss applications
to multi-loop calculations via the unitarity method. In particular, we
illustrate the relations between different contributions to a two-loop
four-point QCD amplitude. We also use this identity to reorganize gravity tree
amplitudes diagram by diagram, offering new insight into the structure of the
KLT relations between gauge and gravity tree amplitudes. This can be used to
obtain novel relations similar to the KLT ones. We expect this to be helpful in
higher-loop studies of the ultraviolet properties of gravity theories.Comment: 40 pages, 7 figures, RevTex, v2 minor correction
An Integrand Reconstruction Method for Three-Loop Amplitudes
We consider the maximal cut of a three-loop four point function with massless
kinematics. By applying Groebner bases and primary decomposition we develop a
method which extracts all ten propagator master integral coefficients for an
arbitrary triple-box configuration via generalized unitarity cuts. As an
example we present analytic results for the three loop triple-box contribution
to gluon-gluon scattering in Yang-Mills with adjoint fermions and scalars in
terms of three master integrals.Comment: 15 pages, 1 figur
