چکیده
We present the explicit expressions in N=8 supergravity for the bosonic 4-particle tree and 1-loop amplitudes including vectors and scalars. We also present the candidate 4point UV divergences in a form of helicity amplitudes, corresponding to 3-loop manifestly N=8 supersymmetric and Lorentz covariant counterterm. This may shed some light on the 3-loop finiteness of N=8 SG and on a conjectured higher loop finiteness. We perform a supersymmetric deformation to complex momentum of the 4-point generating function including higher-loop counterterms and the 1-loop UV finite amplitudes. Using the explicit form of the scalar part of the 3-loop counterterm and of the 1-loop UV finite scalar 4-point amplitudes we find that they both have an unbroken E(7,7) symmetry. We derive from E(7,7) symmetry the low-energy theorem for the 1-loop n-point amplitudes.

On UV Finiteness of the Four Loop N=8 Supergravity
The 4-loop 4-point amplitude in N=8 d=4 supergravity is UV finite due to supersymmetry. Even better UV behavior of the 4-loop 4-point amplitude, analogous to that of N=4 SYM theory, has been recently established by computation in [1]. All n-point 4-loop amplitudes with n > 5 are finite on dimensional grounds. However, the situation with the 5-point amplitudes remained unclear. In this paper we ...
متن کاملGenerating 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 کاملFour - point Amplitudes in N = 8 Supergravity and Wilson Loops
Prompted by recent progress in the study of N = 4 super Yang-Mills amplitudes, and evidence that similar approaches are relevant to N = 8 supergravity, we investigate possible iterative structures and applications of Wilson loop techniques in maximal supergravity. We first consider the two-loop, four-point MHV scattering amplitude in N = 8 supergravity, confirming that the infrared divergent pa...
متن کاملSix - Point One - Loop N = 8 Supergravity NMHV Amplitudes and their IR behaviour
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 ...
متن کاملInherited Twistor-Space Structure of Gravity Loop Amplitudes
At tree-level, gravity amplitudes are obtainable directly from gauge theory amplitudes via the Kawai, Lewellen and Tye closed-open string relations. We explain how the unitarity method allows us to use these relations to obtain coefficients of box integrals appearing in one-loop N = 8 supergravity amplitudes from the recent computation of the coefficients for N = 4 super-Yang-Mills nonmaximally...
