Six - Point One - Loop N = 8 Supergravity NMHV Amplitudes and their IR behaviour

چکیده
We present compact formulas for the box coefficients of the six-point NMHV one-loop amplitudes in N = 8 supergravity. We explicitly demonstrate that the corresponding box integral functions, with these coefficients, have the complete IR singularities expected of the one-loop amplitude. This is strong evidence for the conjecture that N = 8 one-loop amplitudes may be expressed in terms of scalar box integral functions. This structure, although unexpected from a power counting viewpoint, is analogous to the structure of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills amplitudes. The box-coefficients match the tree amplitude terms arising from recursion relations.

Generating Tree Amplitudes in N = 4 SYM and N = 8 SG
We study n-point tree amplitudes of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory and N = 8 supergravity for general configurations of external particles of the two theories. We construct generating functions for n-point MHV and NMHV amplitudes with general external states. Amplitudes derived from them obey SUSY Ward identities, and the generating functions characterize and count amplitudes in the MHV and NMHV...
متن کاملA simple approach to counterterms in N=8 supergravity
We present a simple systematic method to study candidate counterterms in N = 8 supergravity. Complicated details of the counterterm operators are avoided because we work with the on-shell matrix elements they produce. All n-point matrix elements of an independent SUSY invariant operator of the form DR + . . . must be local and satisfy SUSY Ward identities. These are strong constraints, and we t...
متن کاملDual conformal symmetry of 1 - loop NMHV amplitudes in N = 4 SYM theory
We prove that 1-loop n-point NMHV superamplitudes in N = 4 SYM theory are dual conformal covariant for all numbers n of external particles (after regularization and subtraction of IR divergences). This property was previously established for n ≤ 9 in arXiv:0808.0491. We derive an explicit representation of these superamplitudes in terms of dual conformal cross-ratios. We also show that all the ...
متن کاملSolution to the Ward Identities for Superamplitudes
Supersymmetry and R-symmetry Ward identities relate on-shell amplitudes in a supersymmetric field theory. We solve these Ward identities for NMHV amplitudes of the maximally supersymmetric N = 4 and N = 8 theories. The resulting superamplitude is written in a new, manifestly supersymmetric and R-invariant form: it is expressed as a sum of very simple SUSY and SU(N )R-invariant Grassmann polynom...
متن کاملExplicit Cancellation of Triangles in One-loop Gravity Amplitudes
We analyse one-loop graviton amplitudes in the field theory limit of a genus-one string theory computation. The considered amplitudes can be dimensionally reduced to lower dimensions preserving maximal supersymmetry. The particular case of the one-loop fivegraviton amplitude is worked out in detail and explicitly features no triangle contributions. Based on a recursive form of the one-loop ampl...
