Analysis reveals universality in gluon-graviton scattering amplitudes in superconformal theories, indicating a deeper underlying structure.
A bstract We present a detailed analysis of integrated correlators for an N=2 N = 2 supercon-formal field theory on a squashed sphere with SU( N ) gauge group and fundamental/anti-symmetric matter. Employing the matrix model arising from supersymmetric localisation, we compute derivatives of the partition function Z Z with respect to the fundamental mass ( μ ), the anti-symmetric mass ( m ) and the squashing parameter ( b ), corresponding to integrated insertions of the N=2 N = 2 flavour-current and stress-tensor multiplets, which are holographically dual to gluon and graviton scatterings in the presence of D7-branes. For correlators dual to only graviton scatterings, we confirm the planar-limit equivalence with N=4 N = 4 SYM. Our main result is a remarkable universality for the mixed gluon-graviton scattering amplitudes off D7-branes, obtained from ∂μ²∂ₘ²log Z ∂ μ 2 ∂ m 2 log Z and ∂μ²∂b²log Z ∂ μ 2 ∂ b 2 log Z . We show that the leading and sub-leading large- N contributions in the strong-coupling regime are governed by universal asymptotic series, identical to those found for integrated giant-graviton correlators in N=4 N = 4 SYM. We also propose an SL(2, ℤ )-invariant completion of these results in terms of non-holomorphic Eisenstein series. This completion provides exact constraints on higher-derivative terms in the dual AdS 5 brane-string amplitudes and highlights an unexpected universality across distinct superconformal theories at strong coupling.
