Abstract
The dual conformal box integral in Minkowski space is not fully determined by the conformal invariants and . Depending on the kinematic region its value is on a 'branch' of the Bloch-Wigner function which occurs in the Euclidean case. Dual special conformal transformations in Minkowski space can change the kinematic region in such a way that the value of the integral jumps to another branch of this function, encoding a subtle breaking of dual conformal invariance for the integral. We classify conformally equivalent configurations of four points in compactified Minkowski space. We show that starting with any configuration, one can reach up to four branches of the integral using dual special conformal transformations. We also show that most configurations with real and can be conformally mapped to a configuration in the same kinematic region with two points at infinity, where the box integral can be calculated directly in Minkowski space using only the residue theorem.
