Ambitwistor string amplitudes in light-like linear dilaton background

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-08-09 v2

Abstract

Using the ambitwistor string theory, we study graviton scattering amplitudes in a light-like linear dilaton background of ten-dimensional supergravity. At the tree level, we find that the three-graviton amplitude coincides with the type II superstring theory, and the four or more graviton amplitudes differ from the superstring theory but satisfy the scattering equations. Due to a modified momentum conservation law different at each order in genus expansion, a non-zero amplitude is determined solely from the particular order in perturbation theory without further corrections.
