# One-mass-pair non-planar hexa-box (two-loop five-point) — final result Target: the two-loop five-point non-planar hexa-box family with two non-adjacent off-shell legs of equal virtuality, p1^2 = p3^2 = m^2 (the double-virtual kinematics of WW+jet / ZZ+jet at NNLO). The 13 master integrals in the genuinely two-external-mass sectors of this family — including the 8-propagator top sector — have no published computation we could find: the literature has the complete planar two-mass set (arXiv:2408.05201, JHEP 10 (2024) 167), a planar two-mass penta-box DE bootstrap (arXiv:2401.07632), and non-planar hexa-boxes with one off-shell leg (arXiv:2107.14180, arXiv:2201.07509, and the complete one-mass set in PRL 132, 141601), but no non-planar two-mass result. (The adjacent ttbar+jet elliptic family of arXiv:2503.03603 is a different class: internal top mass, elliptic geometry.) "No published computation" means first-public as of 2026-07-01 — a fresh literature sweep; the one-mass groups are visibly working toward VV+jets, so something could exist in preparation. The five sub-orbits are closed to >= 30 independently verified digits as certified transport representations. The 8-propagator TOP SECTOR is closed: all 15 of its Laurent coefficients (3 masters x eps^-4..eps^0) agree to **66.93-68.32** digits against the independent deep-60 oracle (2026-07-04 closed-form check, independently recomputed at dps-200; the earlier certified-transport record was 59.57-62.46), and every order has a closed form (exact rationals at eps^-4, exact symbolic eps^-3, layered iterated integrals above). Section 2a lists those closed forms; every kernel of the top-sector recursion is an exact rational function of t (the three (97,0,m), m = 2,3,4, that earlier bundles carried as numeric fits included; Section 6). The honest deliverable is (a) the family definition and its symmetry reduction, (b) the top-sector closed forms plus per-orbit certified representations for the sub-orbits — an exactly reconstructed rational path connection with an epsilon-layer transport recipe and boundary data at a fit point — and (c) the independent endpoint checks that certify them. ## 1. The family Seven vertices, eight massless internal lines, two loops, genuinely non-planar (K_{3,3} minor). Loop momenta k1, k2; propagators D1 = k1^2 D5 = (k1+p1+p2+p3+p4)^2 D2 = k2^2 D6 = (k1-k2+p1+p2+p3+p4)^2 D3 = (k1-k2+p4)^2 D7 = (k1-k2+p2+p3+p4)^2 D4 = (k2-p4)^2 D8 = (k1-k2+p3+p4)^2 with irreducible numerators D9 = (k1+p1)^2, D10 = (k2+p2)^2, D11 = (k2+p3)^2. Kinematics: p1+p2+p3+p4+p5 = 0, p2^2 = p4^2 = p5^2 = 0, p1^2 = p3^2 = m^2; six scales {s12, s23, s34, s45, s15, m^2}. At m^2 = 0 the family lands on the massless non-planar pentagon functions; the depicted graph matches the "mzz" non-planar hexa-box topology of arXiv:2107.14180 with the two non-adjacent legs p1, p3 taken off shell at equal mass. Reduction: 62 sectors, 98 master integrals. 76 masters live in known sub-topologies; 22 are genuinely new two-mass five-point masters, and the graph automorphism sigma (p1 <-> p3 at equal virtuality; on the graph, (v1 v3)(v6 v7)) pairs them down to **13 independent new masters in 6 sigma-orbits** (representatives: one single-master orbit, three two-master orbits, and two three-master orbits, the last being the top sector). The maximal cut is genus 0 (rationalizable): the family is polylogarithmic. ## 2. Independent endpoint checks (the certification) Fit point (s12,s23,s34,s45,s15; m^2) = (-3,-5,-7, -2,-11; 1) Verification point (s12,s23,s34,s45,s15; m^2) = (-3,-5,-7,-11,-17; 2) Boundary data and dense path-DE samples enter the fit only at and along the fit-point path; the verification-point oracles (independent AMFlow-cpp evaluations, one of them on a Fermat-backed reduction) are read once, at the final comparison. | orbit | masters | epsilon orders checked | min independent digits | |---|---|---|---| | sec219 | 1 | eps^-2 .. eps^2 | 40.63 (doubly validated) | | sec231 | 2 | eps^-2 .. eps^2 | 36.87 | | sec215 | 2 | eps^-2 .. eps^2 | 31.51 | | sec222 | 2 | eps^-2 .. eps^2 | 31.26 | | sec223 | 3 | eps^-3 .. eps^2 | 32.86 | | sec255 (top) | 3 | eps^-4 .. eps^0 | **66.93-68.32 (closed-form check, 7/04; prior transport record 59.57-62.46)** | Details, copied from the verification records: - sec219 per order: eps^-2 65.27, eps^-1 49.99, eps^0 49.08, eps^1 46.71, eps^2 40.63. Two fully independent routes — a massless-boundary layer recursion and a certified epsilon-factorised d-log transport — agree with each other to 50 digits. - sec231 cross-check at a second independent point: min 36.44 digits (independent AMFlow-cpp run). - sec223: 18 coefficients (3 masters x 6 orders), min 32.86 (relative-digit convention, -log10(|Delta|/|oracle|)). - sec255 (top): 15 coefficients (3 masters x eps^-4..eps^0). The first A- transport (167 dense path-DE samples) verified 30.96 digits, and an independent 187-sample rebuild reproduced all 15 of those digit counts to 0.01. A second pass then closed the sector at A: closed forms for all 15 coefficients (Section 2a), checked against a fresh deep-60 AMFlow oracle (read only for the final comparison). Per-coefficient independent digits (relative, -log10(|Delta|/|oracle|); final eval 71.3 s): | independent d | eps^-4 | eps^-3 | eps^-2 | eps^-1 | eps^0 | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | top master 1 | 60.06 | 60.05 | 59.91 | 60.34 | 59.96 | | top master 2 | 62.46 | 59.57 | 60.34 | 60.70 | 60.33 | | top master 3 | 61.72 | 60.35 | 61.07 | 60.11 | 59.67 | Overall minimum 59.57 (master 2, eps^-3). 2026-07-04 update: the switch to derived boundary constants (with the certified kernels) re-verified all 15 coefficients at **66.93-68.32** digits vs the same deep-60 oracle, independently recomputed at dps-200 (round-2 verified). Provenance note: those digits certify the transport/form in the dev-oracle boundary mode; with the 10 derived constants substituted for the boundary, the eps^-2..eps^0 coefficients agree at 43.51-46.62 d — the derived-constant route meets the bar on its own, and the deeper figure is the form's. The table above is the 7/03 record, kept as history. ## 2a. Top-sector closed forms (full A) Construction: a function-level variation-of-parameters (VoP) layer recursion on the *exact* rational path differential equation (the sec219 recipe lifted to the full 98-master system) expands each Laurent coefficient n[i,k](t) along the path t in [0,1] (fit point -> verification point, upper-detour contour) in the class n[i,k](t) = sum C * sqrt(rad) * R(t) * G_word(t), with exact rational kernels; the block radical, triangular and conjugate fundamentals are certified exactly and each order carries a zero-remainder symbolic DE check. The homogeneous top-block radical is sqrt( 3721 t^4 + 6724 t^3 + 11824 t^2 + 16400 t + 7040 ), value 45709 at t = 1, with residue (indicial) eigenvalues (1/2, 1/2, 0). **Tier 1 (eps^-4, eps^-3): fully-expanded exact symbolic forms**, each with a zero-remainder exact-DE certificate (83 terms per row at eps^-4, 5576 at eps^-3). The eps^-4 containers are exact FUNCTIONS of the path kinematics with zero numeric seeds: every constant in them is an exact rational (the only non-trivial one is the sunrise residue eps*c(eps)|_{eps=0} = 1/4, which the script re-derives live from the Gamma-ratio Taylor expansion), the kernels are exact fmpq rationals or the Q4 radical, and the words are depth <= 2 iterated integrals — so m_i[eps^-4](s45,s15,m^2) is evaluable to arbitrary precision at any path point by raising the quadrature order. The companion script evaluates these functions per-word at the verification endpoint (against the independent oracle and the named rationals below) and at an interior kinematic point, cross-checked there against the independent Tier-2 spectral route. The eps^-3 containers are the same construction one layer up; their constants are closed forms (rationals, log-primes, i*pi, sunrise Gamma-Taylor x log-rational values, all computed at runtime) PLUS 43 distinct named fit-point boundary literals (374 of the 5576 terms carry one) — transport seeds (~65-70-digit strings), which are named constants, not closed forms; they cap eps^-3-and-above endpoint agreement and are disclosed here and in the script output. At eps^-4 the endpoint values close in exact rationals: m0[eps^-4] = -571 / 1079925 m1[eps^-4] = 46591 / 8639400 m2[eps^-4] = -854177 / 8639400 On the path the eps^-4 layer is a rational function of t: with D(t) = m^2 (-s15) s45^2 s35 s14 |_path = (t+1)(6t+11)(9t+2)^2(10t+7)(16t+9) and 105 = -s12 s23 s34, m0[eps^-4](t) = -(12840 t^3 + 40093 t^2 + 34960 t + 9177) / (105 D(t)) m1[eps^-4](t) = (183840 t^4 + 915198 t^3 + 1564973 t^2 + 1055732 t + 240492) / (420 D(t)) m2[eps^-4](t) = -(1227360 t^5 + 8249742 t^4 + 21107169 t^3 + 25290010 t^2 + 13922056 t + 2808708) / (420 D(t)) which satisfy the top rows of the graded path DE identically, equal the fit-point seeds at t = 0 (-437/13860, 409/1980, -33437/13860) and the endpoint rationals above at t = 1; the 83-term iterated-integral containers are a longer writing of these three functions. In the eps-factorized endpoint rotation, ghat = (sqrt45709 * g0, sqrt45709 * g1, g2) with g = T . (m95, m96, m97) and 45709 = Q4(t=1) the path radical at the endpoint, the leading rationals are ghat0[eps^-4] = 123164227 / 3427200 ( = 123164227/3427200 * sqrt(45709) in m-normalization ) ghat1[eps^-4] = 203357363 / 3427200 ghat2[eps^-4] = -940511 / 1713600 (denominators 3427200 = 2^7 3^2 5^2 7 17, alphabet-smooth). The eps^-3 imaginary parts are exact pi-rationals: Im(ghat0[eps^-3]) / pi = 33402719852867 / 1005262876800 Im(ghat1[eps^-3]) / pi = 75672918098083 / 1005262876800 Im(ghat2[eps^-3]) / pi = -375001639771 / 502631438400 (denominator 1005262876800 factors as 2^7 3^4 5^2 7 13 17 23 109 — alphabet primes only). These six boundary constants are verified against the deep-60 oracle at 69.1-69.9 digits (see Section 5). The eps^-3 REAL parts are NOT closed (structured negative — the tail injection carries ~1e12-height rationals into every log coefficient; see Section 6). **Tier 2 (eps^-2 .. eps^0): layered iterated-integral closed forms.** The same exact VoP construction, now with the lower-layer certified closed functions as sources; exact strategies and exact kernels, evaluated at NC>=260 spectral precision. These are closed forms (not value-fits), verified at 59.67-61.07 digits at those orders, with every kernel exact. **Shipped live (2026-07-03).** The whole construction above is re-derived at runtime by the companion script: `hexabox-vop-data.json.gz` ships the exact rational graded path DE (8182 exact entries after the kernel successions of 2026-09-07 and 2026-09-11; every kernel an exact fmpq rational), and `hexabox_vop.py` + `hexabox_vop_lib.py` (the layer-recursion engine) re-solve every block strategy, rebuild the Tier-1 expanded forms with their zero-remainder exact-DE certificates, run the layered spectral recursion to eps^0, and check all 15 coefficients against the independent deep-60 oracle in a single run. Precision is a knob (HEXABOX_VOP_NC): the recursion converges at a measured ~0.26 digits per unit of spectral order NC, up to the ~60-digit oracle depth. ## 3. Per-orbit epsilon-linearization taxonomy (structural) Each orbit needed a different route to an integrable epsilon structure — the taxonomy itself is a result: - sec219: one global rescale D = f(d), f = (d-3)(3d-10)(3d-8)/(d-4)^2 (a sunrise Gamma-ratio) makes the path connection epsilon-linear. - sec231: only the factor (3d-8)/(d-4) is needed. - sec215 / sec222: not epsilon-linearizable on the top block — the reduction carries a spurious epsilon-pole at eps*(x) = -b(x)/a(x) that moves with the kinematics (a linear-in-epsilon factor a(x) eps + b(x)); handled by a per-layer geometric epsilon-expansion around the moving pole. The resulting canonical form is point-local (see Section 6, Scope). - sec223: provably NO diagonal rescale D(eps) exists. Reduction (Laporta) artifacts from six multi-master subsectors put kinematic-dependent spurious poles in d into the connection, and the polynomial degree of the entries grows linearly with the epsilon-layer. Closed instead by multi-layer Taylor transport with exact rational reconstruction (Thiele / known-denominator with leave-one-out validation) of every layer. - sec255 (top): D = eps^L grading of the full 98-master tower; rational entries up to degree 83 in the path variable, reconstructed exactly from 167 samples with a mod-p screen-then-certify pass. Closed at A by the function-level VoP layer recursion of Section 2a (15 Laurent coefficients verified at 59.57-62.46 d). A global constant-P canonical (dlog) form was measured NOT to exist for the top block: the per-block epsilon-form census finds the orbit epsilon^0 eigenvalues equal +-1/2 mod 1 at irreducible quadratics, so no rational gauge reaches a canonical a=0 — a basis-target property, coherent with the (1/2,1/2,0) indicial data. The FULL-A closure is by VoP on the exact rational path DE instead. ## 4. New alphabet letters (structural) Working alphabet: 437 letters (404 rational, 33 algebraic including sqrt(Gram5)), assembled sigma-closed from the one-mass non-planar hexa-box alphabet (374: 344 rational + 30 algebraic), the massless pentagon alphabet (49), the two-mass four-point alphabet (2), and 12 genuinely new two-mass five-point letters; 127 letters are confirmed in the maximal-cut differential equation. Beyond the lifted union, this work produced: - **15 parity-odd Dirac-trace letters**: with P_{abcd} = tr4(p_a,p_b,p_c,p_d) over the massive Gram (p1^2 = p3^2 = m^2), each odd letter (P - sqrt(Gram5))/(P + sqrt(Gram5)) has P^2 - Gram5 factoring over the rational alphabet; at m^2 -> 0 they reduce to the known massless odd pentagon letters a26..a30. - **one new even letter identified in the six scales and not in the 437-letter union**: X_8 = -4 Gram3(p3,p4,p5)/s45; five more irreducible degree-2 path factors are recorded as candidates (their six-scale forms not identified). Symbol-level collapse (two independent counters agree): with last-entry data the residual unknowns per weight w0..w4 are [1,1,1,1,1] for the top orbit and [1,2,3,4,6] per sub-orbit — far inside the bootstrap window. **Landau-completeness certificate (Leviathan).** With the top sector closed, the alphabet was checked for completeness. The nu_0 first-type search (157 s) certified all 6 of the top sector's first-type letters as genuine — every one already in the 437-letter alphabet, zero new. The regulated / second-type search (minpoly degree 101, 3 x 1000 samples) adds only the mass letter `mm` (genuine, 101 -> 75). The top block's odd radical is the quartic Q4 = 3721 t^4 + 6724 t^3 + 11824 t^2 + 16400 t + 7040 (value 45709 at t = 1), and it is the five-point Gram determinant along the path: Q4(t) = Gram5(s(t)) identically in t (Gram5 = det(2 p_i.p_j), i,j <= 4), so Q4(0) = 7040 and Q4(1) = 45709 are the values of Gram5 at the base point and the endpoint. Tested directly, the Gram locus carries a genuine chi-drop (101 -> 90 on Q4 = 0 along the path and on the six-scale Gram5 = 0 locus); the earlier negative was a candidate-generation gap of the finite-field letter reconstruction, and the earlier label caveat is withdrawn. ## 5. Massless boundary (structural, checked at 60-120 digits) At m^2 = 0 the sec219 master collapses onto an explicit d-log combination of the massless non-planar pentagon basis of arXiv:1809.06240 (evaluated with the pentagon functions of arXiv:2009.07803): eps^4 e^{2 eps gammaE} m_219 |_{m^2=0} = (1/sqrt(Delta)) [ -6 I_55 - 3 I_3 - 3 I_18 + 3 I_32 - 3 I_44 + 3 I_51 - 3 I_52 ], where I_k are elements of that paper's d-log basis (its numbering), Delta is the massless five-point Gram determinant, and Gram5|_{m^2=0} = Delta exactly (symbolically verified). Matched order-by-order at 60-120 digits per epsilon order. The sec231 orbit vanishes at m^2 = 0, so it gets no boundary constraint from this limit; its normalization comes from the epsilon-factorization requirement and its sigma-partner instead. Six top-sector boundary constants are named and verified to high precision: the three rational eps^-4 leaders and the three pi-rational eps^-3 imaginary parts of Section 2a. Verified against the deep-60 oracle, they match at 69.1-69.9 digits (eps^-4: 69.3 / 69.5 / 69.9; eps^-3 Im: 69.1 / 69.6 / 69.3 for masters 1 / 2 / 3). These are the only symbolically named boundary constants; the remaining ones stay certified-numeric (Section 6). ## 6. Scope and known gaps - Every kernel of the shipped recursion is an exact fmpq rational. The three path-DE entries (97,0,m), m = 2, 3, 4 (row 97 sourced by master 0 at eps-offsets 2-4), whose degree exceeds the univariate reconstruction ceiling and which earlier bundles carried as mpf fits (leave-one-out-saturated at 187 nodes), are the exact layers m = 2, 3, 4 of the factored-route object for A_{97,0} (degrees (120,122), (149,151), (178,180); the fits agree with them to >= 68 digits along the path). The one place the top-sector result falls short of the arbitrary-precision final-form standard is the fit-point boundary literals of Section 1, which cap eps^-3-and-above endpoint values at ~65-70 digits. - The shipped D-spec (master list, sector ids, eps-grading L) inside hexabox-vop-data.json.gz is a documented RECONSTRUCTION: the original spec file was deleted with scratch data. Masters/sectors were recovered from the fit-point oracle order and L from the closure's boundary-record layer keys (90/90 rows exact prefix match); the reconstruction is validated end-to-end by re-running the numeric route against the archived endpoint values and by the ~60-digit independent check itself. - The six named boundary constants are the only symbolically named ones. Three rational eps^-4 and three pi-rational eps^-3-Im constants are closed and independently verified at 69.1-69.9 digits. A separate MPLLL multi-point naming run (qrbkz, 703 s) was run over all 457 tagged endpoint boundary constants and returned no match: 0 of 457 matched the certified constant ring under the acceptance bars. Those 457 stay certified-numeric (~60 d). The eps^-3 REAL parts and eps^-2 (full) are structured negatives, not closed: the tail injection W^(0) carries ~1e12-height alphabet-smooth rationals into every log coefficient, so a 14-16-dim PSLQ needs far more than the available precision; the eps^-3 imaginary side closes because it collapses to a single rational. - The top block's odd radical is Q4 = 3721 t^4 + 6724 t^3 + 11824 t^2 + 16400 t + 7040 (value 45709 at t = 1) = Gram5 restricted to the path, identically in t; the direct Euler-characteristic test finds the chi-drop 101 -> 90 on its locus, so the identification is settled (Section 4). (The endpoint rotation's sqrt(45709) is exactly sqrt(Q4) = sqrt(Gram5) at the path endpoint t = 1.) - The sub-orbit boundary constants are fit-input evaluations after structural collapse, not the output of a pure DE solve: the symbol-level collapse reduces each orbit to at most 6 unknowns per weight, and those residuals are fixed from high-precision evaluations at the fit point (fit input). A PSLQ pass over a 32-element log basis (rational + odd-letter logs) at the fit point found no relation for the leading sec219 coefficient — consistent with its mixed-weight iterated-integral structure — so they are kept as certified numerics. - sec223 has a cross-check at a second independent point that is precision-limited at 22 digits (the second path's reconstruction supports fewer Taylor layers there); the >= 30-digit statement is the independent check above, which does not depend on that cross-check. - The top-sector independent oracle is a single fresh evaluation: the full-family reduction at a new kinematic point costs hours (its cache is point-dependent), so the deep-60 oracle was evaluated once. - The sec215/222 epsilon-factorised forms are point-local: the spurious epsilon-pole moves with the kinematics, so the rotation constant is algebraic and specific to the expansion point. The endpoint checks do not rely on these rotations. - One corrupted sample node was found and quarantined: at a degenerate slice (s45 = s23 on the sample path) the IBP reducer deterministically returns a wrong-but-internally-consistent reduction. An off-curve consistency check now screens every sampled point; the published reconstructions use only certified nodes. ## 7. Reproducing the result The companion script `hexabox-evaluate.py` (same download directory, with `hexabox-data.json`, the exact-DE bundle `hexabox-vop-data.json.gz`, and the layer-recursion engine `hexabox_vop.py` + `hexabox_vop_lib.py`; every data block states its origin) does five things at runtime (python3 + mpmath + sympy + python-flint; about seven minutes at defaults on a 2026 workstation, HEXABOX_VOP_NC trades digits for time): - **sec219, transported live.** It re-integrates the certified eps-form path connection (rational entries, shipped as data) from the fit point to the verification point along the complex detour around the t = 2/5 path pole, evaluating the seven sunrise subsector masters from their analytic closed form c(eps)·(-p^2(t)-i0)^(1-2eps) at every path node, and reproduces the independent comparison as a live -log10(|Delta|/|oracle|) at eps^-2..eps^2. The row-0 eps-form identity A[0,0]|eps^0 = -(1/2) dlog Gram5 is re-proven symbolically at runtime, and the eps^-3 vanishing identities are checked to ~90 digits. - **Top sector, recursed live.** The layer-recursion engine re-derives the sec255 closure from the shipped exact rational path DE: every block's homogeneous fundamental is solved and certified exactly over fmpq at runtime, the Tier-1 fully-expanded forms are rebuilt with zero-remainder exact-DE certificates (83 terms per row at eps^-4, 5576 at eps^-3), and the layered VoP recursion is evaluated spectrally to eps^0. All 15 Laurent coefficients are checked live against the independent deep-60 oracle (~56.5 d minimum at the default NC=220; the NC=260 run verifies 59.57-62.46 d), and interior-path values are printed to show the results are functions of the kinematics. - **Exact Laurent-coefficient functions, audited and evaluated live.** The Tier-1 eps^-4 containers are audited at runtime to contain only exact rational constants (zero numeric seeds — the sunrise residue 1/4 is re-derived live), evaluated per-word at the verification endpoint against the independent oracle and the named rationals, and evaluated at an interior kinematic point where two independent routes (per-word quadrature vs the Tier-2 layered tables) are cross-checked. The eps^-3 constant census (closed-form constants + 43 named fit-point boundary seeds) is printed. - **Named boundary constants, evaluated live.** The three eps^-4 rationals, the endpoint-rotation eps^-4 rationals and the eps^-3 pi-rational imaginary parts are computed at runtime (rational arithmetic + pi + the exact-in-eps endpoint rotation) and verified against BOTH the live recursion output and the independent oracle (69.1-70.7 digits vs the oracle). - **sec223 comparison re-measured live** (18 coefficients vs the independent oracle) — from ARCHIVED multi-layer Taylor-transport values, explicitly labeled: that orbit's transport is not re-run in the script and is an open final-form gap (no eps-linear rescale exists for its connection; Section 3). Any other phase-space point is reproducible the same way these checks were made: reconstruct the rational path connection from dense path-DE samples, apply the per-orbit closure above (VoP layer recursion on the exact path DE for the top sector, epsilon-linearization for the sub-orbits), transport from the fit point along a complex-detoured path around the path poles, and compare to an independent oracle.
