We present results for the six-gluon scattering amplitude at one-loop. Since our method is semi-numerical, it yields the result for arbitrary momenta and helicities of the external gluons. We evaluate the colour-ordered sub-amplitudes with…

I describe some recent developments in the understanding of gluon scattering amplitudes in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory in the large-N_c limit. These amplitudes can be computed to high orders in the weak coupling expansion, and also now at…

We revisit the familiar construction of one-loop scattering amplitudes via generalized unitarity in light of the recently understood properties of loop integrands prior to their integration. We show how in any four-dimensional quantum field…

We have calculated the high spin parton splitting amplitudes postulating the Yangian symmetry of the scattering amplitudes for tensorgluons. The resulting splitting amplitudes coincide with the earlier calculations, which were based on the…

By breaking dual conformal invariance, we transform cluster-algebraic predictions for the alphabet of 9-point amplitudes in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory to analogous predictions for 5- and 6-point processes in QCD. We start by…

Explicit expressions for one-loop five supergraviton scattering amplitudes in both type II superstring theories are determined by making use of the pure spinor formalism. The type IIB amplitude can be expressed in terms of a doubling of…

We classify origin limits of maximally helicity violating multi-gluon scattering amplitudes in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ super-Yang-Mills theory, where a large number of cross ratios approach zero, with the help of cluster algebras. By…

One-loop amplitudes of gluons in supersymmetric Yang-Mills are four-dimensional cut-constructible. This means that they can be determined from their unitarity cuts. We present a new systematic procedure to explicitly carry out any finite…

We translate between different formulations of Yangian invariants relevant for the computation of tree-level scattering amplitudes in N=4 super-Yang--Mills theory. While the R-operator formulation allows to relate scattering amplitudes to…

Loop-level scattering amplitudes for massless particles have singularities in regions where tree amplitudes are perfectly smooth. For example, a $2\to4$ gluon scattering process has a singularity in which each incoming gluon splits into a…
