All master integrals for three-jet production at NNLO

2018 
We evaluate analytically all previously unknown non-planar master integrals for massless five-particle scattering at two loops. The calculation is done using the differential equations method. In order to put the differential equations into a canonical form, we first write down a basis of integrals having constant leading singularities in four dimensions. Then, in order to fix ambiguities due to Gram determinants vanishing in four dimensions, we develop a D-dimensional version of the leading singularity analysis, in Baikov representation. In this way, we arrive at a novel, refined, criterion for selecting Feynman integrals that evaluate to Q-linear combinations of multiple polylogarithms of uniform weight at each order in the expansion in the dimensional regularization parameter. The function space is in agreement with previous conjectures for non-planar pentagon functions. We also confirm a previously conjectured second entry condition on the iterated integrals. With this result, all master integrals needed for three jet production at NNLO are known analytically.
