Scattering amplitudes in three-dimensional N=6 Chern-Simons theory are shown to be non-invariant with respect to the free representation of the osp(6|4) symmetry generators. At tree and one-loop level these "anomalous" terms occur only for non-generic, singular configurations of the external momenta and can be used to determine the form of the amplitudes. In particular we show that the symmetries predict that the one-loop six-point amplitude is non-vanishing and confirm this by means of an explicit calculation using generalized unitarity methods. We comment on the implications of this finding for any putative Wilson loop/amplitude duality in N=6 Chern-Simons theory.

  1. Loops and legs: ABJM amplitudes from $f$-graphs

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    ABJM amplitudes of arbitrary multiplicity and loop order can be reconstructed from squared amplitudes encoded in a permutation-symmetric generating function of planar f-graphs.

  2. A Hidden Permutation Symmetry of Squared Amplitudes in ABJM Theory

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Squared ABJM amplitude integrands with fixed n+L are unified in a permutation-symmetric generating function, and a bipartite f-graph bootstrap yields new N=10 tree and loop results.
