Classical Gravitational Scattering from the Ultraviolet and the Absence of Calabi-Yau Integrals in the Conservative Sector at $O(G^5)$

Zvi Bern, Avery Jackman, Gareth Mansfield +1

We explain why Calabi-Yau and complete elliptic integrals do not contribute to conservative observables at fifth post-Minkowskian order, despite appearing in intermediate steps. At…
