Description

Despite recent progress in the evaluation of 4pt string amplitudes, not much is known about the coefficients in their low energy expansion beyond genus 1. I will describe a simple method, based on the partial-wave decomposition of the tree-level amplitude, which predicts the leading logarithmic discontinuity at any order in \alpha' and any genus. Based on WIP with Yu-tin Huang and Michele Santagata.
