Local BCJ numerators for ten-dimensional SYM at one loop

High Energy Physics - Theory 2021-07-28 v2

Abstract

We obtain local numerators satisfying the BCJ color-kinematics duality at one loop for super-Yang-Mills theory in ten dimensions. This is done explicitly for six points via the field-theory limit of the genus-one open superstring correlators for different color orderings, in an analogous manner to an earlier derivation of local BCJ-satisfying numerators at tree level from disk correlators. These results solve an outstanding puzzle from a previous analysis where the six-point numerators did not satisfy the color-kinematics duality.
