Abstract

We compute the one-loop 222 \rightarrow 2 scattering amplitude of massless scalars on the world volume of an infinite D=11D = 11 supermembrane quantized in the static gauge. The resulting expression is manifestly finite and turns out to be much simpler than in the bosonic membrane case in arXiv:2308.12189 being simply proportional to the tree-level scattering amplitude. We also consider the case of R1,1×S1\mathbb{R}^{1,1} \times S^1 membrane with one dimension compactified on a circle of radius R and demonstrate how the supermembrane scattering amplitude reduces to the one on an infinite D=10D = 10 Green-Schwarz superstring in the limit of R 0\rightarrow 0.
