abstract

We develop an iterative method for constructing four-dimensional generalized unitarity cuts in $\mathcal{N} = 2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory coupled to fundamental matter hypermultiplets ($\mathcal{N} = 2$ SQCD). For iterated two-particle cuts,specifically those involving only four-point amplitudes, this implies simple diagrammatic rules for assembling the cuts to any loop order, reminiscent of the rung rule in $\mathcal{N} = 4$ SYM. By identifying physical poles, the construction simplifies the task of extracting complete integrands. In combination with the duality between color and kinematics we construct all four-point massless MHV-sector scattering amplitudes up to two loops in $\mathcal{N} = 2$ SQCD, including those with matter on external legs. Our results reveal chiral infrared-finite integrands closely related to those found using loop-level BCFW recursion. The integrands are valid in $D\leq 6$ dimensions with external states in a four-dimensional subspace; the upper bound is dictated by our use of six-dimensional chiral $\mathcal{N} = (1,0)$ SYM as a means of dimensionally regulating loop integrals.

  1. Gleaning gravitational amplitudes -- a double copy for canceling dilatons

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    An asymmetric double copy with a ghost-like sqrt-dilaton cancels dilaton contaminations in tree-level GR amplitudes with massive scalars up to six points, leaving a residual bubble ambiguity at one loop.

  2. Off-shell double copy theories in BV

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A BV-formalism construction gives off-shell double-copy actions for Chern-Simons, BF, and 2D Yang-Mills theories, with Kodaira-Spencer and Kähler gravity as natural examples.
