Abstract: We provide an analytic formula for the (rescaled) one-loop scalar hexagon integral $ildePh{i}_6$ with all external legs massless, in terms of classical polylogarithms. We show that this integral is closely connected to two integrals appearing in one- and two-loop amplitudes in planar $𝒩=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory, $Omeg{a}^{(1)}$ and $Omeg{a}^{(2)}$. The derivative of $Omeg{a}^{(2)}$ with respect to one of the conformal invariants yields $ildePh{i}_6$, while another first-order differential operator applied to $ildePh{i}_6$ yields $Omeg{a}^{(1)}$. We also introduce some kinematic variables that rationalize the arguments of the polylogarithms, making it easy to verify the latter differential equation. We also give a further example of a six-dimensional integral relevant for amplitudes in $𝒩=4$ super-Yang-Mills.
