Simplifying the Tree-level Superstring Massless Five-point Amplitude

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

We use the pure spinor formalism to obtain the supersymmetric massless five-point amplitude at tree-level in a streamlined fashion. We also prove the equivalence of an OPE identity in string theory with a subset of the Bern-Carrasco-Johansson five-point kinematic relations, and demonstrate how the remaining BCJ identities follow from the different integration regions over the open string world-sheet, therefore providing a first principles derivation of the (supersymmetric) BCJ identities.
