The AdS Veneziano amplitude at small curvature

We compute the AdS Veneziano amplitude for type IIB gluon scattering in AdS_5 × S^3 to all orders in α' in a small curvature expansion. This is achieved by combining a dispersion relation in the dual 4d 𝒩=2 SCFT with an ansatz for the amplitude as a worldsheet integral in terms of multiple polylogarithms. The first curvature correction is fully fixed in this way and satisfies consistency checks in the high energy limit, the low energy expansion as previously fixed using supersymmetric localisation, and for the energy of massive string operators, which we independently compute using a semiclassical expansion. We also combine localisation with this first curvature correction to fix the unprotected D^4F^4 correction to the amplitude at finite curvature.
