We show how to extract the coefficients of the 4-, 3-, 2- and 1-point one-loop scalar integrals from the full one-loop amplitude of arbitrary scattering processes. In a similar fashion, also the rational terms can be derived. Basically no…

We show how the multiloop amplitudes of $\Phi^3$ theory (in the worldline formulation of Schmidt and Schubert) are recovered from the N-tachyon $(h+1)$-loop amplitude in bosonic string theory in the $\alpha' \to 0$ limit, if one keeps the…

Recently, the spinor helicity formalism and on-shell superspace were developed for six-dimensional gauge theories with (1,1) supersymmetry. We combine these two techniques with (generalised) unitarity, which is a powerful technique to…

In this work, we express the singular part of a scattering amplitude in terms of Feynman integrals compatible with topologies appearing in the bare amplitude, and we choose a basis of locally finite Master Integrals. In two-loop massless…

We reformulate the monodromy relations of open-string scattering amplitudes as boundary terms of twisted homologies on the configuration spaces of Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus. This allows us to write explicit linear relations…

We propose a new ``universal expansion" for one-loop amplitudes with arbitrary number of gluons in $D$ dimensions, which holds for general gauge theories with gluons/fermions/scalars in the loop, including pure and supersymmetric Yang-Mills…

Recent investigations into the geometric structure of scattering amplitudes have revealed the surprising existence of "hidden zeros": secret kinematic loci where tree-level amplitudes in Tr$(\phi^3)$ theory, the Non-Linear Sigma Model…

We define a new geometry obtained from the all-loop amplituhedron in ${\cal N}=4$ SYM by reducing its four-dimensional external and loop momenta to three dimensions. Focusing on the simplest four-point case, we provide strong evidence that…

The cosmohedron was recently proposed as a polytope underlying the cosmological wavefunction for $\text{Tr}(\Phi^3)$ theory. Its faces were conjectured to be in bijection with Matryoshkas, which are obtained from a subdivision of a polygon…
