Abelian Z-theory: NLSM amplitudes and α ′ -corrections from the open string

Abstract In this paper we derive the tree-level S-matrix of the effective theory of Goldstone bosons known as the non-linear sigma model (NLSM) from string theory. This novel connection relies on a recent realization of tree-level open-superstring S-matrix pre-dictions as a double copy of super-Yang...
