Monodromy relations for string amplitudes on AdS space

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We consider the Anti-de Sitter (AdS) Veneziano amplitude describing the scattering of four gluons in type IIB string theory on AdS 5 × S 3 . We propose a set of powerful monodromy relations between different color-ordered amplitudes. These relations arise as a consequence of the emergent worldsheet description of open string scattering on AdS. In flat space, they reduce to the usual monodromy relations for the Veneziano amplitude, and they hold order by order in the small curvature expansion. The relations hold for the results available in the literature, including the scattering of arbitrary Kaluza-Klein modes.
