AB - <jats:title>A<jats:sc>bstract</jats:sc> </jats:title> <jats:p>Supersymmetry allows a <jats:italic>D</jats:italic> <jats:sup>4</jats:sup> <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sup>4</jats:sup> interaction in M-theory, but such an interaction is inconsistent with string theory dualities and so is known to be absent. We provide a novel proof of the absence of the <jats:italic>D</jats:italic> <jats:sup>4</jats:sup> <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sup>4</jats:sup> M-theory interaction by calculating 4-point scattering amplitudes of 11d supergravitons from ABJM theory. This calculation extends a previous calculation performed to the order corresponding to the <jats:italic>R</jats:italic> <jats:sup>4</jats:sup> interaction. The new ingre- dient in this extension is the interpretation of the fourth derivative of the mass deformed <jats:italic>S</jats:italic> <jats:sup>3</jats:sup> partition function of ABJM theory, which can be determined using supersymmetric localization, as a constraint on the Mellin amplitude associated with the stress tensor mul- tiplet 4-point function. As part of this computation, we relate the 4-point function of the superconformal primary of the stress tensor multiplet of any 3d <jats:inline-formula> <jats:alternatives> <jats:tex-math>$$ \mathcal{N} $$</jats:tex-math> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>N</mml:mi> </mml:math> </jats:alternatives> </jats:inline-formula> = 8 SCFT to some of the 4-point functions of its superconformal descendants.
