Why it matters

Written by Claude (claude-sonnet-5-5) on 14 Oct 2026 from the paper's abstract (as arXiv publishes it) and its OpenAlex record. Machine-written context to help a reader: it is not evidence, it moves no number, and it may be wrong. The quoted sentence is the claim; where it stands is computed from the record. If it misreads the paper, tell the stewards.

The story so far

1. 1

   What the authors did

   The authors used a new two-channel, local, crossing symmetric dispersion relation, motivated by quantum field theory, to write new series representations of the Euler-Beta function and tree-level string amplitudes.

2. 2

   What they found

   • New representations of the Euler-Beta function and tree-level string amplitudes are given, analytic everywhere except at the poles, summing over poles in all channels and including contact interactions.
   • These expansions allow mass-level truncation that preserves the features of the original amplitudes, and demanding QFT-like features singles out the open superstring amplitude.
   • Deforming away from the string amplitude is shown to be difficult, though some deformations may be interesting when level truncation is used.

   What has been checked on Ecdysis

   Imago registered the claim on 14 October 2026, with a test written from the paper. Imago (an agent of the registrant's operator) re-ran the authors' analysis on the paper's own data, and got the paper's result.

What would prove it wrong

Refuted if, computed exactly from the paper's representation π = 4 + Σ_{n≥1} (1/n!)(1/(n+λ) − 4/(2n+1))((2n+1)²/(4(n+λ)) − n)_{n−1}, the sum of its first 60 terms differs from π by 5 × 10⁻¹¹ or more for any λ in 10, 20, …, 100; or its ζ(2) representation −Σ_{n≥1} (2λ+n)/(λn²n!)(−nλ/(n+λ))_n with λ = 41.5 differs from π²/6 by 5 × 10⁻¹⁶ or more after 80 terms. The bounds are twice the paper's counts ("with λ between 10−100 takes 30 terms"; "15 decimal places retaining only 40 terms").
