One-loop amplitudes in Einstein-Yang-Mills from forward limits
We present a method to compute the integrands of one-loop Einstein-Yang-Mills
amplitudes for any number of external gauge and gravity multiplets. Our
construction relies on the double-copy structure of Einstein-Yang-Mills as
(super-)Yang-Mills with the so-called YM+$\phi^3$ theory -- pure Yang-Mills
coupled to bi-adjoint scalars -- which we implement via one-loop
Cachazo-He-Yuan formulae. The YM+$\phi^3$ building blocks are obtained from
forward limits of tree-level input in external gluons and scalars, and we give
the composition rules for any number of traces and orders in the couplings $g$
and $\kappa$. One the one hand, we spell out supersymmetry- and
dimension-agnostic relations that reduce loop integrands of Einstein-Yang-Mills
to those of pure gauge theories. On the other hand, we present four-point
results for maximal and half-maximal supersymmetry where all supersymmetry
cancellations are exposed. In the half-maximal case, we determine
six-dimensional anomalies due to chiral hypermultiplets in the loop.
