We introduce a family of new integrable quantum field theories in four dimensions by considering the gamma-deformed N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in the double scaling limit of large imaginary twists and small coupling. This limit discards the gauge fields and retains only certain Yukawa and scalar interactions with three arbitrary effective couplings. In the 't Hooft limit, these 4D theories are integrable, and contain a wealth of conformal correlators such that the whole arsenal of AdS/CFT integrability remains applicable. As a special case of these models, we obtain a quantum field theory of two complex scalars with a chiral, quartic interaction. The Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase vacuum anomalous dimension is dominated in each loop order by a single wheel graph, whose bulk represents an integrable fishnet graph. This explicitly demonstrates the all-loop integrability of gamma-deformed planar N = 4 SYM theory, at least in our limit. Using this feature and integrability results we provide an explicit conjecture for the periods of double-wheel graphs with an arbitrary number of spokes in terms of multiple zeta values of limited depth.

Algebraic singularities of scattering amplitudes from tropical geometry

James Drummond, Jack Foster, Omer Gurdogan, Chrysostomos Kalousios

Summary: In this paper, we discuss the appearance of algebraic singularities in the symbol alphabet of scattering amplitudes in the context of planar N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. We argue that connections between cluster algebras and tropical geometry provide a natural language for postulating a finite alphabet for scattering amplitudes beyond six and seven points where the corresponding Grassmannian cluster algebras are finite. The tropical fans discussed in this study not only generate natural finite sets of letters, but also provide letters containing square roots, with the minimal fan considered providing all the square root letters recently discovered in an explicit two-loop eight-point NMHV calculation.

Tropical fans, scattering equations and amplitudes

James Drummond, Jack Foster, Omer Gurdogan, Chrysostomos Kalousios

Summary: This paper describes a family of tropical fans related to Grassmannian cluster algebras, which are connected to the kinematic space of massless scattering processes in various ways. The focus is on finite Grassmannian cluster algebras, explaining how face variables for the cluster polytopes are related to the scattering equations. For Grassmannians Gr(4, n), the described tropical fans are related to the singularities of loop amplitudes in planar N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. Each choice of tropical fan leads to a natural class of polylogarithms, and the currently known loop data fit into this classification.

Bootstrapping a stress-tensor form factor through eight loops

Lance J. Dixon, Omer Gurdogan, Andrew J. McLeod, Matthias Wilhelm

Summary: In this paper, we compute the three-point form factor of the chiral stress-tensor multiplet in planar N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at six, seven, and eight loops. We bootstrap the computation using boundary data from the form factor operator product expansion. By observing and employing new restrictions on pairs and triples of adjacent letters in the symbol, we obtain detailed information about the function space required to describe the form factor through eight loops. The numerical results provide strong evidence for a finite radius of convergence of perturbation theory. Our results are expected to give the highest weight part of the gg -> Hg and H -> ggg amplitudes in the heavy-top limit of QCD through eight loops. They also contribute to the recent discovery of a new antipodal duality between this form factor and a six-point amplitude in the same theory.
