Abstract

We present the fully integrated form of the two-loop four-gluon amplitude in N=2\mathcal{N} = 2 supersymmetric quantum chromodynamics with gauge group SU(Nc)(N_c) and with NfN_f massless supersymmetric quarks (hypermultiplets) in the fundamental representation. Our result maintains full dependence on NcN_c and NfN_f, and relies on the existence of a compact integrand representation that exhibits the duality between color and kinematics. Specializing to the N=2\mathcal{N} = 2 superconformal theory, where Nf=2NcN_f = 2N_c , we obtain remarkably simple amplitudes that have an analytic structure close to that of N=4\mathcal{N} = 4 super-Yang-Mills theory, except that now certain lower-weight terms appear. We comment on the corresponding results for other gauge groups.
