Abstract
We construct the states and symmetries of \( \mathcal{N} \) = 4 super-Yang-Mills by tensoring two \( \mathcal{N} \) = 1 chiral multiplets and introducing two extra SUSY generators. This allows us to write the maximal \( \mathcal{N} \) = 8 supergravity as four copies of the chiral multiplet. We extend this to higher dimensions and discuss applications to scattering amplitudes.
