Gravitational Effective Theories with Maximal Supersymmetry and a Peculiar Parity

Justin Berman, Simon Caron-Huot, Aditi V. Chandra +4

The paper investigates possible four‑dimensional UV completions of maximally supersymmetric (𝒩=8) supergravity by imposing tree‑level factorization and a special “peculiar parity”…

String Theory from Maximal Supersymmetry

Henriette Elvang, Aidan Herderschee, Roger Morales

We explore the space of non-gravitational, maximally supersymmetric, planar 4d effective field theories (EFTs) that have super Yang-Mills (SYM) at leading order. In…

Splitting Regions and Shrinking Islands from Higher Point Constraints

Justin Berman, Henriette Elvang, Carolina Figueiredo

We study constraints from higher-point amplitudes on scattering in the context of effective field theory (EFT) using the perturbative numerical S-matrix bootstrap. Specif…

Bootstrapping Extremal Scalar Amplitudes With and Without Supersymmetry

Justin Berman, Henriette Elvang, Nicholas Geiser +1

We re-examine positivity bounds on the scattering of identical massless real scalars with a novel perspective on how these bounds can be used to constrain the spectrum of U…

Corners and Islands in the S-matrix Bootstrap of the Open Superstring

Justin Berman, Henriette Elvang

We bootstrap the Veneziano superstring amplitude in 10 dimensions from the bottom-up. Starting with the most general maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills EFT, we input information a…
