We explore a recently proposed effective field theory describing electromagnetically or gravitationally interacting massive particles in an expansion about their mass ratio, also known as the self-force (SF) expansion. By integrating out…

The factorization property of graviton scattering amplitudes is reviewed and show to be valid only if the "natural" value of the gyromagnetic ratio $g_S=2$ is employed -- independent of spin.

S and U-duality dictate that graviton scattering amplitudes in IIB superstring theory be automorphic functions on the appropriate fundamental domain which describe the inequivalent vacua of (compactified) theories. A constrained functional…

Caetano et al. (Proc. R. Soc. A. 481:20230650, 2025) have proposed a formulation for sound-soft acoustic scattering by a compact scatterer O $\subset$ Rn, in which the scattered field is represented as an acoustic Newtonian potential whose…

A prescription is presented to construct manifestly gauge invariant tree-level scattering amplitudes with one or two off-shell initial-state gluons for processes with arbitrary particles in the final state, which allows for calculations…

We analyse the twist-three amplitudes that can give rise to single-spin asymmetries in hadron-hadron scattering; in so doing we bring to light a novel factorisation property. As already known, the requirement of an imaginary part leads to…
