Abstract: We examine maximal unitarity in the nonplanar case and derive remarkably compact analytic expressions for coefficients of master integrals with two-loop crossed box topology in massless four-point amplitudes in any gauge theory, thereby providing additional steps towards automated computation of the full amplitude. The coefficients are obtained by assembling residues extracted through integration on linear combinations of higher-dimensional tori encircling global poles of the loop integrand. We recover all salient features of two-loop maximal unitarity, such as the existence of unique projectors for each master integral. Several explicit calculations are provided. We also establish exact equivalence of our results and master integral coefficients recently obtained via integrand-level reduction in any renormalizable gauge theory.
