Double-Copy Constructions and Unitarity Cuts

Zvi Bern, Scott Davies, Josh Nohle

The duality between color and kinematics enables the construction of multiloop gravity integrands directly from corresponding gauge-theory integrands. This has led to new nontrivia…

Evanescent Effects Can Alter Ultraviolet Divergences in Quantum Gravity without Physical Consequences

Zvi Bern, Clifford Cheung, Huan-Hang Chi +3

Evanescent operators such as the Gauss-Bonnet term have vanishing perturbative matrix elements in exactly D=4 dimensions. Similarly, evanescent fields do not propagate in D=4; a th…

The Ultraviolet Critical Dimension of Half-Maximal Supergravity at Three Loops

Zvi Bern, Scott Davies, Tristan Dennen

We determine the minimum dimension at which divergences first occur in half-maximal 16-supercharge supergravity at three loops. For the four-point amplitudes, we find that the crit…

Enhanced Ultraviolet Cancellations in N = 5 Supergravity at Four Loop

Zvi Bern, Scott Davies, Tristan Dennen

We show that the four-loop four-point amplitudes of N = 5 supergravity are ultraviolet finite in four dimensions, contrary to expectations based on supersymmetry and duality-symmet…

On Loop Corrections to Subleading Soft Behavior of Gluons and Gravitons

Zvi Bern, Scott Davies, Josh Nohle

Cachazo and Strominger recently proposed an extension of the soft-graviton theorem found by Weinberg. In addition, they proved the validity of their extension at tree level. This w…

Low-Energy Behavior of Gluons and Gravitons from Gauge Invariance

Zvi Bern, Scott Davies, Paolo Di Vecchia +1

We show that at tree level, on-shell gauge invariance can be used to fully determine the first subleading soft-gluon behavior and the first two subleading soft-graviton behaviors.…
