abstract

The string corrections of tree-level open-string amplitudes can be described by Selberg integrals satisfying a Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equation. This allows for a recursion of the $\alpha'$-expansion of tree-level string corrections in the number of external states using the Drinfeld associator. While the feasibility of this recursion is well-known, we provide a mathematical description in terms of twisted de Rham theory and intersection numbers of twisted forms. In particular, this leads to purely combinatorial expressions for the matrix representation of the Lie algebra generators appearing in the KZ equation in terms of directed graphs. This, in turn, admits efficient algorithms for symbolic and numerical computations using adjacency matrices of directed graphs and is a crucial step towards analogous recursions and algorithms at higher genera.

  1. Associators for AdS string amplitude building blocks

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Open-string AdS building blocks can be generated by Drinfeld associator recursions and closed-string ones by Deligne associator recursions, yielding all-order zeta-valued expansions.
