Four - point Amplitudes in N = 8 Supergravity and Wilson Loops
Prompted by recent progress in the study of N = 4 super Yang-Mills amplitudes, and evidence that similar approaches are relevant to N = 8 supergravity, we investigate possible iterative structures and applications of Wilson loop techniques in maximal supergravity. We first consider the two-loop, four-point MHV scattering amplitude in N = 8 supergravity, confirming that the infrared divergent pa...
متن کاملConformal properties of four-gluon planar amplitudes and Wilson loops
We present further evidence for a dual conformal symmetry in the four-gluon planar scattering amplitude in N = 4 SYM. We show that all the momentum integrals appearing in the perturbative on-shell calculations up to four loops are dual to true conformal integrals, well defined off shell. Assuming that the complete off-shell amplitude has this dual conformal symmetry and using the basic properti...
متن کاملWilson Loops and QCD/String Scattering Amplitudes
We generalize modern ideas about the duality between Wilson loops and scattering amplitudes in N = 4 SYM to large N QCD by deriving a general relation between QCD meson scattering amplitudes and Wilson loops. We then investigate properties of the open-string disk amplitude integrated over reparametrizations. When the Wilson loop is approximated by the area behavior, we find that the QCD scatter...
متن کاملClassical polylogarithms for amplitudes and Wilson loops.
We present a compact analytic formula for the two-loop six-particle maximally helicity violating remainder function (equivalently, the two-loop lightlike hexagon Wilson loop) in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in terms of the classical polylogarithm functions Lik with cross ratios of momentum twistor invariants as their arguments. In deriving our formula we rely on results from the theory ...
متن کاملOn planar gluon amplitudes/Wilson loops duality
There is growing evidence that on-shell gluon scattering amplitudes in planar N = 4 SYM theory are equivalent to Wilson loops evaluated over contours consisting of straight, light-like segments defined by the momenta of the external gluons. This equivalence was first suggested at strong coupling using the AdS/CFT correspondence and has since been verified at weak coupling to one loop in perturb...
