QCD recursion relations from the largest time equation

Abstract

We show how by reassembling the tree level gluon Feynman diagrams in a convenient gauge, space-cone, we can explicitly derive the BCFW recursion relations. Moreover, the proof of the gluon recursion relations hinges on an identity in momentum space which we show to be nothing but the Fourier transform of the largest time equation. Our approach lends itself to natural generalizations to include massive scalars and even fermions.
