3.2. The cut-constructible parts 89As expected we see th<strong>at</strong> G factors onto the tree-level amplitude multiply<strong>in</strong>g ahelicity bl<strong>in</strong>d function. The denom<strong>in</strong><strong>at</strong>ors <strong>in</strong> the above equ<strong>at</strong>ions have exactlythe form we expect from our four-cut calcul<strong>at</strong>ions. Sp<strong>in</strong>or products <strong>of</strong> the form〈lj〉 ∝ (l − p j ) 2 /[lj] are l<strong>in</strong>ked to Feynman propag<strong>at</strong>ors and can be associ<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>with</strong>box diagrams. Indeed the residues <strong>of</strong> these propag<strong>at</strong>ors correspond to sett<strong>in</strong>g afurther propag<strong>at</strong>or on-shell and as such correspond to a four-cut. At first glancewe observe three sp<strong>in</strong>or products associ<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>with</strong> <strong>in</strong>sert<strong>in</strong>g additional propag<strong>at</strong>ors(l − p j ) 2 , (l − p j+1 ) 2 and (l − p i+1 ) 2 . Of these the first <strong>two</strong> correspond to <strong>two</strong>-masseasy boxes and the third corresponds to a <strong>two</strong>-mass hard topology. We observed <strong>in</strong>the previous section th<strong>at</strong> there are no such contributions to the φ-MHV amplitude,imply<strong>in</strong>g th<strong>at</strong> somehow this residue must not contribute to a box-coefficient. Uponcloser <strong>in</strong>spection we see th<strong>at</strong> there is <strong>in</strong>deed no residue associ<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>with</strong> this terms<strong>in</strong>ce the non-vanish<strong>in</strong>g three-po<strong>in</strong>t vertex <strong>in</strong> the triangle requires th<strong>at</strong> |l〉 ∝ |i〉 andas such when the solution for the loop-momenta is <strong>in</strong>serted there is a cancell<strong>at</strong>ionbetween 〈i(i + 1)〉 <strong>in</strong> the denom<strong>in</strong><strong>at</strong>or and numer<strong>at</strong>or.To determ<strong>in</strong>e F and S one merely has to <strong>in</strong>sert the parameteris<strong>at</strong>ion for the loopmomentum <strong>in</strong> terms <strong>of</strong> eq. (3.62) and take the t 0 coefficient <strong>in</strong> a series expansionaround t = ∞. We f<strong>in</strong>d,F 2,1m (1, i, j) = A (0)n(〈j(j − 1)〉 〈im〉〈i1〉 2 〈m|P j;i |i]+ 〈im〉2 〈i1〉〈1|P j;i |i]〈1m〉 2 〈ij〉〈i(j − 1)〉 〈ij〉〈i(j − 1)〉− 〈im〉2 〈i1〉 2 〈j|P j;i |i]〈ij〉 2 〈i(j − 1)〉)− 〈im〉2 〈i1〉 2 〈(j − 1)|P j;i |i].

(3.46). The calcul<strong>at</strong>ion for S is identical to th<strong>at</strong> <strong>of</strong>F (although here the <strong>in</strong>termedi<strong>at</strong>e formulae are more complic<strong>at</strong>ed so we quote onlythe f<strong>in</strong>al result)S 2,1m (1, i, j) = A (0)n ((bij 1m )2 − (b i(j−1)1m )2 )〈i|P j;i |i]. (3.72)With these solutions <strong>in</strong> hand we are now able to calcul<strong>at</strong>e the coefficient <strong>of</strong> anyone- or <strong>two</strong>-mass triangle appear<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the φ-MHV amplitude.
