The Schwinger representation gives a systematic procedure for recasting large N field theory amplitudes as integrals over closed string moduli space. This procedure has recently been applied to a class of free field four point functions by…
We explore conformal primary wavefunctions for all half integer spins up to the graviton. Half steps are related by supersymmetry, integer steps by the classical double copy. The main results are as follows: we 1) introduce a convenient…
This is the second installment of a series of three papers in which we describe a method to determine higher-point correlation functions in one-loop open-superstring amplitudes from first principles. In this second part, we study worldsheet…
By replacing two of the bosonic scalar superfields of the N=2 string with fermionic scalar superfields (which shifts $d_{critical}$ from (2,2) to (9,1)), a quadratic action for the ten-dimensional Green-Schwarz superstring is obtained.…
We show that, given a two-dimensional realization of the celestial OPE in self-dual Yang-Mills, we can find a scalar source around which scattering amplitudes replicate correlation functions computed from the 2D `gluon' operators in a limit…
We show that the one loop amplitudes of open and closed string theory in a constant background two-form tensor field are characterized by an effective string tension larger than the fundamental string tension, and by the appearance of…
We study scattering amplitudes in the shadow conformal primary basis, which satisfies the same defining properties as the original conformal primary basis and has many advantages over it. The shadow celestial amplitudes exhibit locality…
We construct the Mellin representation of four point conformal correlation function with external primary operators with arbitrary integer spacetime spins, and obtain a natural proposal for spinning Mellin amplitudes. By restricting to the…
We investigate the embedding formalism in conjunction with the Mellin transform to determine tree-level gluon amplitudes in AdS/CFT. Detailed computations of three to five-point correlators are conducted, ultimately distilling what were…
Celestial amplitudes which use conformal primary wavefunctions rather than plane waves as external states offer a novel opportunity to study properties of amplitudes with manifest conformal covariance and give insight into a potential…
The tree-level amplitude of six massless open strings is computed using the pure spinor formalism. The OPE poles among integrated and unintegrated vertices can be efficiently organized according to the cohomology of pure spinor superspace.…
Celestial amplitude is a new reformulation of momentum space scattering amplitude and offers a promising way for flat holography. In this paper, we study the celestial amplitude in $\mathcal N=4$ Super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory aiming at…
We study the network of Type-I cosmic strings using the field-theoretic numerical simulations in the Abelian-Higgs model. For Type-I strings, the gauge field plays an important role, and thus we find that the correlation length of the…
We study spacetime four-point functions of chiral primary operators for superstrings propagating in AdS$_3\times S^3\times T^4$ from the worldsheet perspective, allowing for external states with arbitrary spectral flow charges. We work at…
Scattering amplitudes computed by superstring perturbation theory are known to holomorphically split into chiral half integrands at fixed internal loop momentum. It is established by direct computation that upon reduction to the ordinary…
The $w_{1+\infty}$ symmetry algebra appears in the Einstein--Yang--Mills theory, proposed recently by Strominger. In this paper, we derive the supersymmetric $w_{1+\infty}$ symmetry by using the known results on the operator product…
We derive a general expression for on-shell recursion relations of closed string tree-level amplitudes. Starting with the string amplitudes written in the form of the Koba-Nielsen integral, we apply the BCFW shift to deform them. In…
We find a direct map that determines moduli-space integrands for one-loop superstring amplitudes in terms of field-theory loop integrands in the BCJ form. The latter can be computed using efficient unitarity methods, so our map provides an…
In this thesis, we study the integrands of a special four-point correlation function formed of protected half-BPS operators and scattering amplitudes in planar supersymmetric $\mathcal{N}=4$ Yang-Mills. We use the `soft-collinear bootstrap'…
Carrollian holography is supposed to describe gravity in four-dimensional asymptotically flat space-time by the three-dimensional Carrollian CFT living at null infinity. We transform superstring scattering amplitudes into the correlation…
