AI-assisted completion of the elliptic sector of a collider correlator

Schwartz and Zhang report an analytical expression for the remaining elliptic sector of the next-to-next-to-leading-order energy-energy correlator in N = 4 super Yang–Mills theory, relating its curve to the sunrise integral and expressing the answer through iterated Eisenstein integrals.

Sources for this record

What was already known

The previous NNLO result contained harmonic polylogarithms and an unevaluated two-fold elliptic integral. This work supplies an analytical form for that remaining sector.

What changed and why it matters

Completes a previously unevaluated sector of a substantial analytical observable and identifies useful elliptic structure.

The AI contribution

The paper says many technical results were completed with AI under human supervision and that BootLoops was used extensively. This disclosure does not identify a model for each calculation or establish autonomous discovery.

Limitations

The completed calculation is in N = 4 super Yang–Mills, not a completed NNLO QCD prediction. The retrospective bootstrap uses the known answer and is not an independent validation. This recent preprint has not been audited or reproduced by AIProofWatch.

Verification evidence

Evidence labels show what supports the claim. Importance rates its impact if correct.

Author claim

The authors report completion of the elliptic sector in the specified supersymmetric theory.

Accessible artifact / proof

Written argument and evaluation details are accessible; no independent reproduction recorded here.
