abstract
String theory implies that field theories containing gravity are in a certain sense `products' of gauge theories. We make this product structure explicit up to two loops for the relatively simple case of N=8 supergravity four-point amplitudes, demonstrating that they are `squares' of N=4 super-Yang-Mills amplitudes. This is accomplished by obtaining an explicit expression for the $D$-dimensional two-loop contribution to the four-particle S-matrix for N=8 supergravity, which we compare to the corresponding N=4 Yang-Mills result. From these expressions we also obtain the two-loop ultraviolet divergences in dimensions D=7 through D=11. The analysis relies on the unitarity cuts of the two theories, many of which can be recycled from a one-loop computation. The two-particle cuts, which may be iterated to all loop orders, suggest that squaring relations between the two theories exist at any loop order. The loop-momentum power-counting implied by our two-particle cut analysis indicates that in four dimensions the first four-point divergence in N=8 supergravity should appear at five loops, contrary to the earlier expectation, based on superspace arguments, of a three-loop counterterm.

Two-Loop Scattering Amplitudes: Double-Forward Limit and Colour-Kinematics Duality
Two-loop Yang-Mills and gravity integrands are constructed from tree-level trivalent diagrams via a double-forward limit, with multiplicity factors that make the loop-level colour-kinematics duality manifest.

Gravity loop integrands from the ultraviolet
Four-dimensional N=8 supergravity loop integrands scale one power better at infinity than general-D power-counting predicts, and this homogeneous scaling combined with BCFW behavior uniquely fixes the integrand throug...

A tale of two exponentiations in ${\cal N}=8$ supergravity
The paper derives a closed all-orders formula for the leading high-energy part of the N=8 supergravity remainder function, confirming the recent three-loop calculation and predicting new terms at four loops and beyond.

Energy correlators in four-dimensional gravity
Gravitational energy correlators in four dimensions are computed at one loop, shown to be infrared-finite, and resummed in the back-to-back limit by soft-graviton exponentiation.
