Full-Color Two-Loop Four-Gluon Amplitude in N=2 Supersymmetric QCD

Phys Rev Lett. 2019 Dec 13;123(24):241601. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.123.241601.

Abstract

We present the fully integrated form of the two-loop four-gluon amplitude in N=2 supersymmetric quantum chromodynamics with gauge group SU(N_{c}) and with N_{f} massless supersymmetric quarks (hypermultiplets) in the fundamental representation. Our result maintains full dependence on N_{c} and N_{f}, and relies on the existence of a compact integrand representation that exhibits the duality between color and kinematics. Specializing to the N=2 superconformal theory, where N_{f}=2N_{c}, we obtain remarkably simple amplitudes that have an analytic structure close to that of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, except that now certain lower-weight terms appear. We comment on the corresponding results for other gauge groups.
