Abstract

We construct the N=4\mathcal{N}=4 supersymmetric completion of the recently proposed single-minus gluon amplitudes in (2,2)(2,2) signature, which are nonvanishing for all multiplicities on a half-collinear kinematic locus. The superamplitude factorises into a permutation-invariant measure Δ(n1)\Delta^{(n-1)} with uniform little-group weight that imposes the half-collinearity constraint, a piecewise constant stripped amplitude A~1n\tilde{A}_{1\ldots n} that is helicity blind and dual conformal invariant, and (super)momentum conservation delta functions. For n=3n=3, our superamplitude reduces to the known MHV\overline{\rm MHV} superamplitude. We prove dual superconformal covariance of the nn-point superamplitude, and further analyse the Gr(k,n)\mathrm{Gr}(k,n) Grassmannian integral at k=1k=1. Finally, we present the corresponding single-minus superamplitude in N=8\mathcal{N}=8 supergravity.
