We describe the geometry of the leading singularity locus of the traintrack integral family directly in momentum twistor space. For the two-loop case, known as the elliptic double box, the leading

Landau’s work on the singularities of Feynman diagrams suggests that they can only be of three types: either poles, logarithmic divergences, or the roots of quadratic polynomials. On the other hand,

In this paper we analyse formulas which reproduce leading singularities of scattering amplitudes in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super Yang-Mills theory through a Grassmannian integral. Recently their Yangian
The action of holomorphic inverse soft factors on scattering amplitudes in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ SYM is shown to take a remarkably simple form in momentum twistor space. This is used to identify
