Soft and Collinear Limits in $\mathcal{N}=8$ Supergravity using Double Copy Formalism
It is known that $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity is dual to $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills (SYM) via the double copy relation. Using the explicit relation between scattering amplitudes in the two theories, we calculate the soft and collinear limits in $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity from know results in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. In our application of double copy, a particular self-duality condition is chosen for scalars that allows us to constrain and determine the R-symmetry indices of the supergravity states in the collinear limit.
