A Formula for Multi-Loop 4-Particle Amplitude in Superstring Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Based on the recent developments of explicit computations at 2 loops in superstring theory in the covariant RNS formalism, we propose an explicit formula for the arbitrary loop 4-particle amplitude in superstring theory. We prove that this formula passes two very difficult tests: modular invariance and factorization. If proved, this shows that superstring theory is not only finite order by order in perturbation theory but is also exceptionally simple.
