We present a fully analytic calculation of the leading-order one-loop amplitude for triple Higgs production via gluon fusion, gg → HHH, retaining full dependence on the mass of the heavy quark circulating in the loop. This amplitude provides a direct probe of the triple and quartic Higgs self-couplings, the measurement of which is a central goal of current and future colliders. The amplitude can be presented in compact form thanks to the use of analytic reconstruction techniques, based on finite-field and p-adic evaluations, partial fraction decompositions, and primary decompositions to identify common numerator factors. Our results provide a compact and efficient representation of the matrix element for this process, enabling evaluations that are more than an order of magnitude faster than existing numerical alternatives.
