Rooting out letters: octagonal symbol alphabets and algebraic number theory

Abstract It is widely expected that NMHV amplitudes in planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory require symbol letters that are not rationally expressible in terms of momentum-twistor (or cluster) variables starting at two loops for eight particles. Re- cent advances in loop integration te...
