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 4-point 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 E7 symmetry. We derive from E7 symmetry the low-energy theorem for the 1-loop n-point amplitudes.

  1. On Carrollian Loop Amplitudes for Gauge Theory and Gravity

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Loop-level Carrollian amplitudes in N=4 SYM and N=8 supergravity are differential operators on tree-level versions, with logarithmic eikonal behavior and IR-safe factorization via natural splitting.

  2. On Carrollian Loop Amplitudes for Gauge Theory and Gravity

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Loop-level Carrollian amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity preserve tree-level structures, show logarithmic dependence in the eikonal regime, and factorize to yield an IR-safe definition.
