Scattering amplitudes

H Elvang, Y Huang - arxiv preprint arxiv:1308.1697, 2013 - arxiv.org
The purpose of this review is to bridge the gap between a standard course in quantum field
theory and recent fascinating developments in the studies of on-shell scattering amplitudes …

New relations for gauge-theory amplitudes

Z Bern, JJM Carrasco, H Johansson - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2008 - APS
We present an identity satisfied by the kinematic factors of diagrams describing the tree
amplitudes of massless gauge theories. This identity is a kinematic analog of the Jacobi …

H Elvang, Y Huang - 2015 - books.google.com
Providing a comprehensive, pedagogical introduction to scattering amplitudes in gauge
theory and gravity, this book is ideal for graduate students and researchers. It offers a …

Evidence for a new soft graviton theorem

F Cachazo, A Strominger - arxiv preprint arxiv:1404.4091, 2014 - arxiv.org
The single-soft-graviton limit of any quantum gravity scattering amplitude is given at leading
order by the universal Weinberg pole formula. Gauge invariance of the formula follows from …

Gravity as the square of gauge theory

Z Bern, T Dennen, Y Huang, M Kiermaier - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2010 - APS
We explore consequences of the recently discovered duality between color and kinematics,
which states that kinematic numerators in a diagrammatic expansion of gauge-theory …

What is the simplest quantum field theory?

N Arkani-Hamed, F Cachazo, J Kaplan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2010 - Springer
Conventional wisdom says that the simpler the Lagrangian of a theory the simpler its
perturbation theory. An ever-increasing understanding of the structure of scattering …

A duality for the S matrix

N Arkani-Hamed, F Cachazo, C Cheung… - Journal of High Energy …, 2010 - Springer
We propose a dual formulation for the S Matrix of\(\mathcal N\)= 4 SYM. The dual provides a
basis for the “leading singularities” of scattering amplitudes to all orders in perturbation …

Direct extraction of one-loop integral coefficients

D Forde - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2007 - APS
We present a general procedure for obtaining the coefficients of the scalar bubble and
triangle integral functions of one-loop amplitudes. Coefficients are extracted by considering …

On-shell recursion relations for effective field theories

C Cheung, K Kampf, J Novotny, CH Shen, J Trnka - Physical Review Letters, 2016 - APS
We derive the first ever on-shell recursion relations applicable to effective field theories.
Based solely on factorization and the soft behavior of amplitudes, these recursion relations …

On tree amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity

N Arkani-Hamed, J Kaplan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
The BCFW recursion relations provide a powerful way to compute tree amplitudes in gauge
theories and gravity, but only hold if some amplitudes vanish when two of the momenta are …
