In this letter we compute a canonical set of cuts of the integrand for MHV amplitudes in planar ${\cal N}=4$ SYM, where all internal propagators are put on-shell. These "deepest cuts" probe the most complicated Feynman diagrams and on-shell…

We compute tree-level $n$-point scattering amplitudes in scalar field theories in terms of geometric invariants on a fibre bundle. All 0- and 2-derivative interactions are incorporated into a metric on this bundle. The on-shell amplitudes…
