We derive a recursive formula for the alpha'-expansion of superstring tree amplitudes involving any number N of massless open string states. String corrections to Yang-Mills field theory are shown to enter through the Drinfeld associator, a generating series for multiple zeta values. Our results apply for any number of spacetime dimensions or supersymmetries and chosen helicity configurations.

  1. Twisted de Rham theory for string double copy in AdS

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 8.0

    Noncommutative twisted de Rham theory derives the intersection number of open-string contours whose inverse is the double-copy kernel for four-point AdS string generating functions.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Single-valued polylogarithms are constructed on higher-genus once-punctured Riemann surfaces with trivial monodromy, related to prior work and used to identify the Arakelov Green's function.
