By taking the high-energy limit of the two-loop amplitudes for parton-parton scattering, we have tested the validity of Fadin-Lipatov's ansatz for parton-parton scattering in the high-energy limit. As expected, we have found that it holds…

In this paper, we study the solutions to the energy-critical quadratic nonlinear Schr\"odinger system in ${\dot H}^1\times{\dot H}^1$, where the sign of its potential energy can not be determined directly. If the initial data ${\rm u}_0$ is…

We describe new on-shell recursion relations for tree-amplitudes in N=1 and N=2 gauge theories and use these to show that the structure of the S-matrix in pure N=1 and N=2 gauge theories resembles that of pure Yang-Mills. We proceed to…
