Description

The tree-level double copy is the field theory limit of the string theory KLT relations. In this limit, two features of the KLT relations are lost - higher derivative corrections and massive states. In this talk, we will focus on the former and develop a bootstrap procedure based on locality of the double-copy amplitudes. This will allow us to generalize the field theory double copy to include effective field theories and theories with mass, via manipulations of the KLT kernel.
