Planar L-loop maximally helicity violating amplitudes in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are believed to possess the remarkable property of satisfying iteration relations in L. We propose a simple new method for studying the iteration relations for four-particle amplitudes which involves the use of certain linear differential operators and eliminates the need to fully evaluate any loop integrals. We carry out this procedure in explicit detail for the two-loop amplitude and argue that this method can be used to prove the iteration relations to all loops up to polynomials in logarithms.

    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.
