Stringy KLT Relations on $AdS$

Abstract

We study the building blocks of open and closed string amplitudes on $AdS$. These are given by two infinite towers of world-sheet integrals generalising the Euler and complex beta functions respectively. We show that the open and closed building blocks are related by an $AdS$ version of the KLT relations, whose Kernel can be computed exactly. We furthermore show that the building blocks for open string amplitudes are given by Aomoto-Gelfand hypergeometric functions, and give their closed form expression up to weight four.
