One-loop amplitudes are to a large extent determined by their unitarity cuts in four dimensions. We show that the remaining rational terms can be obtained from the ultraviolet behaviour of the amplitude, and determine universal form factors…

We present a set of algebraic functions for evaluating the coefficients of the scalar integral basis of a general one-loop amplitude. The functions are derived from unitarity cuts, but the complete cut-integral procedure has been carried…

We present a semi-recursive method for calculating the rational parts of one-loop amplitudes when recursion produces double poles. We illustrate this with the graviton scattering amplitude M^{1-loop}(1-, 2+, 3+, 4+, 5+).

The decomposition of a one-loop scattering amplitude into elementary functions with rational coefficients introduces spurious singularities which afflict individual coefficients but cancel in the complete amplitude. These cancellations…
