Constructibility of AdS supergluon amplitudes

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-08-12 v4

Abstract

We prove that all tree-level nn-point supergluon (scalar) amplitudes in AdS5_5 can be recursively constructed, using factorization and flat-space limit. Our method is greatly facilitated by a natural R-symmetry basis for planar color-ordered amplitudes, which reduces the latter to "partial amplitudes" with simpler pole structures and factorization properties. Given the nn-point scalar amplitude, we first extract spinning amplitudes with n2n{-}2 scalars and one gluon by imposing "gauge invariance", and then use a special "no-gluon kinematics" to determine the (n+1)(n{+}1)-point scalar amplitude completely (which in turn contains the nn-point single-gluon amplitude). Explicit results of up to 8-point scalar amplitudes and up to 6-point single-gluon amplitudes are included as Supplemental Material.
