Direct Proof Of Tree-Level Recursion Relation In Yang-Mills Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2010-04-07 v2

Abstract

Recently, by using the known structure of one-loop scattering amplitudes for gluons in Yang-Mills theory, a recursion relation for tree-level scattering amplitudes has been deduced. Here, we give a short and direct proof of this recursion relation based on properties of tree-level amplitudes only.
