We study scalar one-loop amplitudes in massive $\phi^3$-theory within causal loop-tree duality. We derive a recurrence relation for the integrand of the amplitude. The integrand is by construction free of spurious singularities on…
We present unitarity as a method for determining the infinities present in graviton scattering amplitudes. The infinities are a combination of IR and UV. By understanding the soft singularities we may extract the UV infinities and relate…
We propose a systematic way to carry out the method introduced in hep-th/0410077 for computing certain unitarity cuts of one-loop N=4 amplitudes of gluons. We observe that the class of cuts for which the method works involves all…

Scattering amplitudes of massless particles in Minkowski space can be expressed in a conformal basis by Mellin transforming the momentum space amplitudes to correlation functions on the celestial sphere at null infinity. In this paper, we…
This note reports on an independent implementation of calculating one-loop amplitudes semi-numerically using generalized unitarity techniques. The algorithm implemented in form of a C++ code closely follows the method by Ellis, Giele,…
We explain how one-loop amplitudes with massive fermions can be computed using only on-shell information. We first use the spinor-helicity formalism in six dimensions to perform generalised unitarity cuts in $d$ dimensions. We then show…
The massless QCD Lagrangian is conformally invariant and, as a consequence, so are the tree-level scattering amplitudes. However, the implications of this powerful symmetry at loop level are only beginning to be explored systematically.…
Supergravity theories with non-minimal K\"ahler potentials are characterized by a non-trivial field space manifold with corresponding non-trivial kinetic terms. The scattering amplitudes in these theories can be calculated at fixed…
