Abstract

Using only the Britto-Cachazo-Feng-Witten(BCFW) on-shell recursion relation we prove color-order reversed relation, U(1)U(1)-decoupling relation, Kleiss-Kuijf(KK) relation and Bern-Carrasco-Johansson(BCJ) relation for color-ordered gauge amplitude in the framework of S-matrix program without relying on Lagrangian description. Our derivation is the first pure field theory proof of the new discovered BCJ identity, which substantially reduces the color ordered basis from (n2)!(n-2)! to (n3)!(n-3)!. Our proof gives also its physical interpretation as the mysterious bonus relation with 1z2{1\over z^2} behavior under suitable on-shell deformation for no adjacent pair.
