Following~\cite{Arkani-Hamed:2017thz}, we derive a recursion relation by applying a one-parameter deformation of kinematic variables for tree-level scattering amplitudes in bi-adjoint $\phi^3$ theory. The recursion relies on properties of…

Recently, the accordiohedron in kinematic space was proposed as the positive geometry for planar tree-level scattering amplitudes in the $\phi^p$ theory \cite{Raman:2019utu}. The scattering amplitudes are given as a weighted sum over…

In this paper, we explore the applicability of the BCFW-like recursion relations \cite{He:2018svj,Yang:2019esm} to a wider class of positive geometries. Previously it was found in \cite{Jagadale:2022rbl}, the tree level scattering amplitude…

The "amplituhedron" for tree-level scattering amplitudes in the bi-adjoint $\phi^3$ theory is given by the ABHY associahedron in kinematic space, which has been generalized to give a realization for all finite-type cluster algebra…

Inspired by the recent work of Nima Arkani Hamed and collaborators who introduced the notion of positive geometry to account for the structure of tree-level scattering amplitudes in bi-adjoint $\phi^3$ theory, which led to one-loop…

The tree-level scattering amplitudes for $\text{tr}(\phi^3)$ theory can be interpreted as a sum over the vertices of a polytope known as the associahedron. For each graph $G$, there exists a natural generalisation of the associahedron,…

The geometric structure of S-matrix encapsulated by the "Amplituhedron program" has begun to reveal itself even in non-supersymmetric quantum field theories. Starting with the seminal work of Arkani-Hamed, Bai, He and Yan it is now…

In a remarkable recent work [arXiv : 1711.09102] by Arkani-Hamed et al, the amplituhedron program was extended to the realm of non-supersymmetric scattering amplitudes. In particular it was shown that for tree-level planar diagrams in…

We propose a recursion relation for tree-level scattering amplitudes in three-dimensional Chern-Simons-matter theories. The recursion relation involves a complex deformation of momenta which generalizes the BCFW-deformation used in higher…

We use the recently developed massive spinor-helicity formalism [1] of Arkani- Hamed et al. to propose a new class of recursion relations for tree-level amplitudes in gauge theories. These relations are based on a combined complex…

A geometric approach to understanding recursion relations for scattering amplitudes is developed. We achieve this by studying intersection numbers of triangulated accordiohedra presented as hyperplane arrangements. The cancellation of…

We give a proof of BCFW recursion relations for all tree-level amplitudes of gravitons in General Relativity. The proof follows the same basic steps as in the BCFW construction and it is an extension of the one given for next-to-MHV…

The BCFW recursion relations provide a powerful way to compute tree amplitudes in gauge theories and gravity, but only hold if some amplitudes vanish when two of the momenta are taken to infinity in a particular complex direction. This is a…
