We show that the approaches to integrable systems via 4d Chern-Simons theory and via symmetry reductions of the anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equations are closely related, at least classically. Following a suggestion of Kevin Costello, we…
We study compactifications of the $N=2$ 6D tensionless string on various complex two-folds down to two-dimensions. In the IR limit they become non-trivial conformal field theories in 2D. Using results of Vafa and Witten on the partition…
A Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) type formula is derived for the leading gluon, bi-adjoint scalar $\phi^3$, Yang-Mills-scalar and non-linear sigma model $m$-soft factors $S_m$ in arbitrary dimension. The general formula is used to evaluate explicit…
Motivated by recent work by Arkani-Hamed et al. arXiv:2401.00041, we compute the ''scaffolding'' residue of $2n$-scalar Yang-Mills-Scalar amplitudes to obtain pure $n$-gluon amplitudes \`a la Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY). In particular, we show…
Constructing a rational CHY integrand that realizes prescribed physical pole constraints is a discrete inverse problem whose combinatorial complexity grows with multiplicity. We encode the pole hierarchy through generalized pole degrees…
In this note, we introduce and study a new class of "half integrands" in Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) formula, which naturally generalize the so-called Parke-Taylor factors; these are dubbed Cayley functions as each of them corresponds to a…
Recently two of the authors presented a spinorial extension of the scattering equations, the `polarized scattering equations' that incorporates spinor polarization data. These led to new worldsheet amplitude formulae for a variety of gauge,…
This review article provides a pedagogical introduction into various classes of chiral string compactifications to four dimensions with D-branes and fluxes. The main concern is to provide all necessary technical tools to explicitly…
The factorization form of the integrands in the Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) formalism makes the generalized Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) relations manifest, thus amplitudes of one theory can be expanded in terms of the amplitudes of another theory.…
We use Monte Carlo methods to directly evaluate D-dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills partition functions reduced to zero Euclidean dimensions, with and without supersymmetry. In the non-supersymmetric case, we find that the integrals exist for…
A relation between the 4d superconformal index and the S^3 partition function is studied with focus on the 4d and 3d actions used in localization. In the case of vanishing Chern-Simons levels and round S^3 we explicitly show that the 3d…
We develop a polynomial reduction procedure that transforms any gauge fixed CHY amplitude integrand for $n$ scattering particles into a $\sigma$-moduli multivariate polynomial of what we call the $\textit{standard form}$. We show that a…
The Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) formula for on-shell scattering amplitudes are extended off-shell. The off-shell amplitudes are M\"obius invariant, and have the same momentum poles as the on-shell amplitudes. The same technique is also used to…
We employ the so-called companion matrix method from computational algebraic geometry, tailored for zero-dimensional ideals, to study the scattering equations. The method renders the CHY-integrand of scattering amplitudes computable using…
The CHY representation of scattering amplitudes is based on integrals over the moduli space of a punctured sphere. We replace the punctured sphere by a double-cover version. The resulting scattering equations depend on a parameter $\Lambda$…
We present a compact formula for the complete tree-level S-matrix of pure Yang-Mills and gravity theories in arbitrary spacetime dimension. The new formula for the scattering of n particles is given by an integral over the position of n…
We show that a wide class of tree-level scattering amplitudes involving scalars, gauge bosons, and gravitons, up to three of which may be massive, can be expressed in terms of a Cachazo-He-Yuan representation as a sum over solutions of the…
Pfaffian diagrams are formulated to represent gluon amplitudes computed from the Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) formula. They may be regarded as a systematic regrouping of Feynman diagrams after internal momenta are expanded and products of vertex…
Various recently developed connections between supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in four dimensions and two dimensional integrable systems serve as crucial ingredients in improving our understanding of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In this…
We study in detail generalized 4-dimensional fuzzy spheres with twisted extra dimensions. These spheres can be viewed as $SO(5)$-equivariant projections of quantized coadjoint orbits of $SO(6)$. We show that they arise as solutions in…
