Abstract

We derive a new non-singular tree-level KLT relation for the n=5n=5-point amplitudes, with manifest 2(n2)!2(n-2)! symmetry, using information from one-loop amplitudes and IR divergences, and speculate how one might extend it to higher n-point functions. We show that the subleading-color N=4{\cal N}=4 SYM 5-point amplitude has leading IR divergence of 1/ϵ1/\epsilon, which is essential for the applications of this paper. We also propose a relation between the subleading-color N=4{\cal N}=4 SYM and N=8{\cal N}=8 supergravity 1-loop 5-point amplitudes, valid for the IR divergences and possibly for the whole amplitudes, using techniques similar to those used in our derivation of the new KLT relation.
