We obtain the full-color four-loop three-point form factor of the stress-tensor supermultiplet in N=4 SYM, based on the color-kinematics (CK) duality and generalized unitarity method. The CK-dual solution, while manifesting all dual Jacobi…

We show how curing an anomaly of the twistor uplift of self-dual Yang-Mills theory implies linear relations among one-loop, $n$-gluon, color-ordered subamplitudes in QCD, when all $n$ gluon helicities are positive, or when exactly one is…

The one-loop correction to eleven-dimensional supergravity involves a cubically divergent term $t_8t_8R^4$, with four Riemann tensors. A similar term (with finite coefficient) has been argued to be present in the M-theory effective action.…
