abstract

In a previous paper we observed that (classical) tree-level gauge theory amplitudes can be rearranged to display a duality between color and kinematics. Once this is imposed, gravity amplitudes are obtained using two copies of gauge-theory diagram numerators. Here we conjecture that this duality persists to all quantum loop orders and can thus be used to obtain multiloop gravity amplitudes easily from gauge-theory ones. As a nontrivial test, we show that the three-loop four-point amplitude of N = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory can be arranged into a form satisfying the duality, and by taking double copies of the diagram numerators we obtain the corresponding amplitude of N = 8 supergravity. We also remark on a non-supersymmetric two-loop test based on pure Yang-Mills theory resulting in gravity coupled to an anti-symmetric tensor and dilaton.

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.

On differential operators and unifying relations for $1$-loop Feynman integrands

hep-th · 2021-08-09 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Differential operators built from the 1-loop CHY formula map the gravitational 1-loop Feynman integrand to those of Einstein-Yang-Mills, pure Yang-Mills, Born-Infeld, bi-adjoint scalar, and other theories, with factorization into tree-level operators under unitarity cuts.

Untwisting the double copy: the zeroth copy as an optical seed

hep-th · 2026-04-06 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A single complex optical seed built from expansion and twist organizes stationary Kerr-Schild geometries, reconstructs the congruence, and encodes the zeroth-copy data that generates both the gravitational profile and the single-copy gauge field.

Hawking Radiation meets the Double Copy

All self-dual theories with or without higher-spin fields possess nontrivial tree-level amplitudes in Kleinian or complex Minkowski kinematics, completing the celestial analogue of the higher-spin duality.

Black hole response theory in WQFT exactly reproduces the Aichelburg-Sexl shockwave metric, geodesics, and the transfer matrix for gravitational-wave scattering off it via post-Minkowskian resummation.

Tree Amplitudes with Charged Matter in Pure Gauge Theory

A new Mathematica package computes tree amplitudes with arbitrary gauge bosons and arbitrarily charged massless fermions by reducing distinct-flavor partial amplitudes to linear combinations of single-flavor supersymmetric Yang-Mills components.

Kerr-Schild Double Copy of the Randall-Sundrum Black String

Kerr-Schild double copy of the RS II black string produces a sourceless Maxwell single copy and a warp-induced massive scalar zeroth copy, with an alternative splitting giving inequivalent gauge and scalar fields.

hep-th · 2026-04-06 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

The Kerr-Schild double copy does not map residual symmetries between Yang-Mills and gravity; gravitational conformal Killing vectors are shown to be BRST-exact after a Weyl-compensated complex, leaving only global isometries.

Hidden zeros in tree-level amplitudes of several theories are attributed to zeros of bi-adjoint scalar amplitudes via universal expansions, with a mechanism shown to cancel potential propagator divergences in gravity.
