Super Higher-Teichm\"uller Geometry and Loop Amplitudes
Abstract
We construct a supersymmetric extension of the Fock-Goncharov cluster ensemble associated with a split basic classical Lie supergroup G and a marked bordered surface S. The resulting structure defines a super higher-Teichm\"uller geometry: a split super--thickening of ( AG,S, XG,S) equipped with a mutation atlas preserving a canonical super log-symplectic form. Each super seed carries an integer weight matrix W encoding Cartan weights of an abelian odd slice, transforming by the column g--vector rule and giving rise to a flat logarithmic superconnection and a canonical super volume form. On this geometric foundation we define a canonical logarithmic superform super(L) on a loop fibration πL : X(L)G,S \!\! XG,S as the relative lift of the base super volume. For G = PGL(4|4), the corresponding super period Psuper = ∫C super(L) encodes the loop amplitude data of planar N = 4 super Yang--Mills, expressed through a unified and triangulation-independent formula that satisfies Steinmann and cluster adjacency, with the even sector given by Chen iterated integrals and the odd sector captured by an invariant BCFW delta.
