We calculate Wilson loops in lowest order of perturbation theory for triangular contours whose edges are circular arcs. Based on a suitable disentanglement of the relations between metrical and conformal parameters of the contours, the result fits perfectly in the structure predicted by the anomalous conformal Ward identity. The conformal remainder function depends in the generic 4D case on three cusp and on three torsion angles. The restrictions on these angles imposed by the closing of the…

This short note is some obvious mathematical addendum to our papers on Wilson loops on polygon-like contours with circular edges [1, 2]. Using the technique of osculating spheres and circles we
