A simple approach to counterterms in N=8 supergravity

We present a simple systematic method to study candidate counterterms in =8 supergravity. Complicated details of the counterterm operators are avoided because we work with the on-shell matrix elements they produce. All n-point matrix elements of an independent SUSY invariant operator of the form D 2...
