Loops and legs: ABJM amplitudes from f-graphs
摘要
We initiate a systematic study on how to extract planar integrands of (supersymmetric) scattering amplitudes with L loops and n legs in Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena (ABJM) theory from the recently proposed (bosonic) generating function for squared amplitudes with N := n+L dual points; the latter enjoys a hidden permutation symmetry SN and is given by a linear combination of weight-3 planar f -graphs that can be recast as bipartite graphs, which manifest important properties of ABJM amplitudes. We provide evidence that it contains sufficient information to reconstruct individual amplitudes, despite the absence of squared amplitudes at odd loops. The extraction of the four-point amplitude is already non-trivial and closely parallels the extraction of five-point amplitudes in
