We compute the tree level 4-particle bosonic scattering amplitudes in D=11 supergravity. By construction, they are part of a linearized supersymmetry-, coordinate- and 3-form gauge-invariant. While this on-shell invariant is nonlocal,…

We use partial wave unitarity to constrain various bespoke four-point amplitudes. We start by constructing bespoke generalizations of the type I superstring amplitude, which we show satisfy dual resonance and have suitable high-energy…

This thesis discusses how the pure spinor formalism can be used to efficiently compute superstring scattering amplitudes. We emphasize the pure spinor superspace form of the kinematic factors, where the simplifying features of this language…

We use the infrared consistency of one-loop amplitudes in N=4 Yang-Mills theory to derive a compact analytic formula for a tree-level NNMHV gluon scattering amplitude in QCD, the first such formula known. We argue that the IR conditions,…

In this work, we write down an analytic expression of electromagnetic tree-level Compton amplitude for a completely symmetric traceless (bosonic) higher spin particle in any dimension. Our analysis is restricted to the three-point function,…

At variance with fully inclusive quantities, which have been computed already at the two- or three-loop level, most exclusive observables are still known only at one-loop, as further progress was hampered so far by the greater computational…

Multi-cut critical points and their macroscopic loop amplitudes are studied in the multi-cut two-matrix models, based on an extension of the prescription developed by Daul, Kazakov and Kostov. After identifying possible critical points and…

We identify a large class of one-loop amplitudes for massless particles that can be constructed via unitarity from tree amplitudes, without any ambiguities. One-loop amplitudes for massless supersymmetric gauge theories fall into this…
