Challenges of D=6 N=(1,1) SYM Theory

Understand

Maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories have several remarkable properties, among which are the cancellation of UV divergences, factorization of higher loop corrections and possible integrability.

• Much attention has been attracted to the N=4 D=4 SYM theory.
• The N=(1,1) D=6 SYM theory possesses similar properties but is nonrenomalizable and serves as a toy model for supergravity.
• We consider the on-shell four point scattering amplitude and analyze its perturbative expansion within the spin-helicity and superspace formalism.
