Abstract
Recent progress on scattering amplitudes has benefited from the mathematical technology of symbols for efficiently handling the types of polylogarithm functions which frequently appear in multiloop computations. The symbol for all two-loop maximally helicity violating amplitudes in planar supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is known, but explicit analytic formulas for the amplitudes are hard to come by except in special limits where things simplify, such as multi-Regge kinematics. By applying symbology we obtain a formula for the leading behavior of the imaginary part (the Mandelstam cut contribution) of this amplitude in multi-Regge kinematics for any number of gluons. Our result predicts a simple recursive structure which agrees with a direct Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov computation carried out in a parallel publication.
