abstract

By exploiting relations between gravity and gauge theories, we present two infinite sequences of one-loop n-graviton scattering amplitudes: the `maximally helicity-violating' amplitudes in N=8 supergravity, and the `all-plus' helicity amplitudes in gravity with any minimally coupled massless matter content. The all-plus amplitudes correspond to self-dual field configurations and vanish in supersymmetric theories. We make use of the tree-level Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) relations between open and closed string theory amplitudes, which in the low-energy limit imply relations between gravity and gauge theory tree amplitudes. For n < 7, we determine the all-plus amplitudes explicitly from their unitarity cuts. The KLT relations, applied to the cuts, allow us to extend to gravity a previously found `dimension-shifting' relation between (the cuts of) the all-plus amplitudes in gauge theory and the maximally helicity-violating amplitudes in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. The gravitational version of the relation lets us determine the n < 7 N=8 supergravity amplitudes from the all-plus gravity amplitudes. We infer the two series of amplitudes for all n from their soft and collinear properties, which can also be derived from gauge theory using the KLT relations.

Twisted de Rham theory for string double copy in AdS

hep-th · 2025-12-29 · conditional · novelty 8.0

Noncommutative twisted de Rham theory derives the intersection number of open-string contours whose inverse is the double-copy kernel for four-point AdS string generating functions.

Graviton scattering on self-dual black holes

hep-th · 2025-07-24 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Exact tree-level MHV graviton scattering amplitudes at arbitrary multiplicity are obtained on self-dual Taub-NUT backgrounds using twistor theory, including spin via Newman-Janis shift, with undeformed celestial symmetries.

Negative running of gravitational positivity

hep-th · 2026-03-16 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Non-minimal three-point interactions induce negative one-loop running of Wilson coefficients in gravitational EFTs, yet graviton loops generate positive IR contributions that dominate the bounds after smearing if the species number is bounded.

Resurgence of high-energy string amplitudes

hep-th · 2026-04-08 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

High-energy string amplitudes have asymptotic expansions governed by Bernoulli numbers, upgraded via resurgence to transseries whose Stokes data encode non-perturbative monodromy between kinematic regions.
