Modular graph functions arise in the calculation of the low-energy expansion of closed-string scattering amplitudes. For toroidal world-sheets, they are ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$-invariant functions of the torus complex structure that have…
We derive from ambitwistor strings new formulae for two-loop scattering amplitudes in supergravity and super-Yang-Mills theory, with any number of particles. We start by constructing a formula for the type II ambitwistor string amplitudes…
We extend the left-handed string formalism at one-loop level to focus on only the infrared limit, where the Green's function for the left-handed string is expanded around the cusp of the modular parameter. This expansion leads to the…

We obtain for the first time the two-loop amplitudes for Higgs plus three gluons in Higgs effective field theory including dimension-seven operators. This provides the S-matrix elements for the top mass corrections for Higgs plus a jet…
There are many Rankin-Selberg integrals representing Langlands $L$-functions, and it is not apparent what the limits of the Rankin-Selberg method are. The Dimension Equation is an equality satisfied by many such integrals that suggests a…
We are solving the classical Riemann-Hilbert problem of rank N>1 on the extended complex plane punctured in 2m+2 points, for NxN quasi-permutation monodromy matrices. Following Korotkin we solve the Riemann-Hilbert problem in terms of the…
In an important paper, Zagier proved that certain half-integral weight modular forms are generating functions for traces of polynomials in the $j$-function. It turns out that Zagier's work makes it possible to algorithmically compute…
We construct and study a natural compactification $\overline{M}^r(N)$ of the moduli scheme $M^r(N)$ for rank-$r$ Drinfeld $\F_q[T]$-modules with a structure of level $N \in \F_q[T]$. Namely, $\overline{M}^r(N) = {\rm Proj}\,{\bf Eis}(N)$,…
We state and prove the spectral expansion of the theta series attached to the Rankin-Selberg spherical variety $(\mathrm{GL}_{n+1} \times \mathrm{GL}_n)/\mathrm{GL}_n$. This is a key result towards the fine spectral expansion of the…
