In a previous paper we observed that (classical) tree-level gauge theory amplitudes can be rearranged to display a duality between color and kinematics. Once this is imposed, gravity amplitudes are obtained using two copies of gauge-theory…

We examine the ultraviolet behaviour of supergravity theories as a function of dimension and number of supercharges. We do so by the computation of one and two-loop physical on-shell four point amplitudes. For maximal supergravity, our…

We describe a construction of the two-loop amplitude of four graviton supermultiplets in AdS$_5\times$S$^5$. We start from an ansatz for a preamplitude from which we generate the full amplitude under the action of a specific Casimir…
