AB - We review the structure of superconformal anomalies in 4d N = 4 conformal supergravity (CSG) coupled to a number N<inf>v</inf> of N = 4 vector multiplets and 6d (2,0) CSG coupled to N<inf>T</inf> of (2,0) tensor multiplets. Anomalies cancel if N<inf>v</inf> = 4 and N<inf>T</inf> = 26 respectively. If the CSG part of the action is dropped and N<inf>v</inf> = 6 + n<inf>v</inf>, the first theory is classically equivalent to the 4d N = 4 Poincaré supergravity (PSG) coupled to n<inf>v</inf> vector multiplets, while the second one with N<inf>T</inf> = 5 + n<inf>T</inf> is classically equivalent to the 6d (2,0) PSG coupled to n<inf>T</inf> tensor multiplets. We suggest that these facts imply that divergences in the 4d PSG with n<inf>v</inf> vectors should be proportional to n<inf>v</inf> + 2 and similarly in the 6d PSG with n<inf>T</inf> tensors to n<inf>T</inf> – 21. This conjecture appears to be consistent with most of the known results of explicit scattering amplitude computations in these 4d and 6d PSG theories, apart from one coefficient in the 3-loop mixed vector scattering amplitude computed in arXiv:1305.4876.
