Associators for AdS string amplitude building blocks
Abstract
We show that building blocks for open- and closed-string amplitudes on AdS are generated by the Drinfeld and Deligne associator, respectively. Our formalism lifts the known associator recursions for flat-space string amplitudes to the AdS picture. This delivers another proof that the AdS building blocks admit low-energy expansions with (single-valued) multiple zeta values as coefficients and provides all-order relations for the integral expressions.
