We consider restrictions imposed on the (electromagnetic or weak) current operator by its commutation relations with the representation operators of the Poincare group and show that the nonperturbative part of the current operator…
Any gravitational scattering amplitude takes a remarkably simple factorized form at tree level in multi-Regge kinematics (MRK), where the produced particles are strongly ordered in rapidity. Very recently, it was shown that also the…
We argue that for finite energy windows, the final states in gravitational scattering in dimension $d > 4$ are normalizable coherent states in Fock space. However, as the center of the energy window goes to infinity, black hole physics…
We construct all supergravity theories that can be obtained through factorized orbifold projections of N=8 supergravity, exposing their double-copy structure, and calculate their one-loop four-point scattering amplitudes. We observe a…
The soft physics approach to Compton scattering at moderately large momentum transfer is reviewed. It will be argued that in that approach the Compton cross section as well as other exclusive observables exhibit approximate scaling in a…
We present a systematic framework for computing frequency-domain gravitational waveforms from relativistic binary scattering in different asymptotic regimes. The method yields a controlled series expansion that can in principle be extended…
We study the high-energy small-angle {\it Regge} limit of the fermion-antifermion scattering in gauge theories and consider the part of the amplitude suppressed by a power of the scattering angle. For abelian gauge group all-order…
We study constraints from causality and unitarity on $2\to2$ graviton scattering in four-dimensional weakly-coupled effective field theories. Together, causality and unitarity imply dispersion relations that connect low-energy observables…
Within the soft collinear effective theory (SCET), we derive a factorization theorem which resums Sudakov logarithms $(\alpha_s\ln^2(-t))^n$ to all orders in the quark-in-quark generalized parton distribution (GPD) at large momentum…
We calculate the one-loop corrections to a general off-forward deeply-virtual Compton process at leading twist for both parton helicity-dependent and independent cases. We show that the infrared divergences can be factorized entirely into…
In de Sitter space, the gravitational fluctuation at the super-horizon scale may make physical quantities time dependent by breaking the de Sitter symmetry. We adopt the Kadanoff-Baym approach to evaluate soft gravitational effects in a…
We present a simple derivation of MHV amplitudes in massless spinor and scalar electrodynamics. Working with permutationally invariant amplitudes, we show that they are fully determined by their soft photon behavior and admit a simple…
In this note, we investigate the implications of classical soft theorems for the formalism developed by Kosower, Maybee and O'Connell (KMOC) to derive classical observables in gauge theory and gravity from scattering amplitudes. In…
We derive a systematic Lagrangian approach for quantum gravity in the super-Planckian limit where $s\gg M_{pl}^2\gg t$. The action can be used to calculate to arbitrary accuracy in the quantum and classical expansion parameters $\alpha_Q=…
We treat general relativity as an effective field theory, obtaining the full nonanalytic component of the scattering matrix potential to one-loop order. The lowest order vertex rules for the resulting effective field theory are presented…
We evaluate the one-loop four-graviton scattering amplitude in type-II superstring theory exactly in $\alpha'$. This result is achieved by combining physical insights into the $i\varepsilon$ prescription in string theory with a new…
We investigate spin- and velocity-dependent contributions to the gravitational inter-particle potential. The methodology adopted here is based on the expansion of the effective action in terms of form factors encoding quantum corrections.…
We investigate the tree-level S-matrix in gauge theories and open superstring theory with several soft particles. We show that scattering amplitudes with two or three soft gluons of non-identical helicities behave universally in the limit,…
We study the wide angle Compton scattering process on a proton within the soft collinear factorization (SCET) framework. The main purpose of this work is to estimate the effect due to certain power suppressed corrections. We consider all…
We develop a new systematic procedure for the Regge limit in perturbative QCD to arbitrary logarithmic order. The formalism relies on the IR structure and the gauge symmetry of the theory. We identify leading regions in loop momentum space…
