Monodromy Relations for String Amplitudes on AdS

High Energy Physics - Theory 2025-09-04 v1

Abstract

We consider the AdSAdS Veneziano amplitude describing the scattering of four gluons in type IIB string theory on AdS5×S3AdS_5 \times S^3. We propose a set of powerful monodromy relations between different colour-ordered amplitudes. These relations arise as a consequence of the emergent world-sheet description of open string scattering on AdSAdS. In flat space, they reduce to the usual monodromy relations for the Veneziano amplitude, and they hold order by order in the small curvature expansion. The relations hold for all results available in the literature, including the scattering of arbitrary KK-modes.
