Dual conformal symmetry of 1-loop NMHV amplitudes in N=4 SYM theory

We prove that 1-loop n-point NMHV superamplitudes in N=4 SYM theory are dual conformal covariant for all numbers n of external particles (after regularization and subtraction of IR divergences). This property was previously established for n ≤ 9 in arXiv:0808.0491. We derive an explicit representati...

520 |a We prove that 1-loop n-point NMHV superamplitudes in N=4 SYM theory are dual conformal covariant for all numbers n of external particles (after regularization and subtraction of IR divergences). This property was previously established for n ≤ 9 in arXiv:0808.0491. We derive an explicit representation of these superamplitudes in terms of dual conformal cross-ratios. We also show that all the 1-loop 'box coefficients' obtained from maximal cuts of N k MHV n-point functions are covariant under dual conformal transformations.
