The gluon tree amplitudes of open twistor string theory, defined as contour integrals over the ACCK link variables, are shown to satisfy the BCFW relations, thus confirming that they coincide with the corresponding amplitudes in gauge field…
The most important aspects of scattering amplitudes have long been thought to be associated with their poles. But recently a very different sort of "split" factorizations for a wide range of particle and string tree amplitudes have been…
We show that the tree-level spectrum of heavy particles can be directly extracted from the Wilson coefficients of the corresponding effective field theory at low energies. This procedure is exact when the number of resonances is finite, and…
We consider the $[q+1,q-3,5]_q3$ generalized doubly-extended Reed-Solomon code of codimension $4$ as the code associated with the twisted cubic in the projective space $\mathrm{PG}(3,q)$. Basing on the point-plane incidence matrix of…
We derive the linear acoustic and Stokes-Fourier equations as the limiting dynamics of a system of N hard spheres of diameter $\epsilon$ in two space dimensions, when N $\rightarrow$ $\infty$, $\epsilon$ $\rightarrow$ 0, N $\epsilon$ =…
A simple convex polytope $P$ is \emph{cohomologically rigid} if its combinatorial structure is determined by the cohomology ring of a quasitoric manifold over $P$. Not every $P$ has this property, but some important polytopes such as…
We study all tree-level split helicity gluon amplitudes by using the recently proposed BCFW recursion relation and Hodges diagrams in ambitwistor space. We pick out the contributing diagrams and find that all of them can be divided into…
We present a complete set of 4-point amplitudes in the constructive Standard Model at tree level. Any 4-point amplitude can be obtained from the results presented here by a suitable choice of masses, a permutation of the particles (by…
We present and prove a formula for the MHV scattering amplitude of n gravitons at tree level. Some of the more interesting features of the formula, which set it apart as being significantly different from many more familiar formulas,…
We continue the study of positive geometries underlying the {\it Grassmannian string integrals}, which are a class of "stringy canonical forms", or stringy integrals, over the positive Grassmannian mod torus action, $G_+(k,n)/T$. The…
We compute the classical tree-level five-point amplitude for the two-to-two scattering of spinning celestial objects with the emission of a graviton. Using this five-point amplitude, we then turn to the computation of the leading-order…
The amplituhedron is a mathematical object which was introduced to provide a geometric origin of scattering amplitudes in $\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang Mills theory. It generalizes \emph{cyclic polytopes} and the \emph{positive Grassmannian},…
The problem of finding general quartic interaction terms between fields of higher helicities on the light-front is discussed from the point of view of calculating the corresponding amplitudes directly from the cubic vertices using BCFW…
The question of graviton cloning in the context of the bulk/boundary correspondence is considered. It is shown that multi-graviton theories can be obtained from products of large-N CFTs. No more than one interacting massless graviton is…
We study traces of weighted Triebel-Lizorkin spaces $F^s_{p,q}({\mathbb R}^n,w)$ on hyperplanes ${\mathbb R}^{n-k}$, where the weight is of Muckenhoupt type. We concentrate on the example weight $w_\alpha(x) = |x_n|^\alpha$ when $|x_n|\leq…
We study the Stokes problem over convex polyhedral domains on weighted Sobolev spaces. The weight is assumed to belong to the Muckenhoupt class $A_q$ for $q \in (1,\infty)$. We show that the Stokes problem is well-posed for all $q$. In…
Arkani-Hamed et. al. have recently shown that all tree-level scattering amplitudes in maximal supergravity exhibit exceptionally soft behavior when two supermomenta are taken to infinity in a particular complex direction, and that this…
In a recent paper [1], three-particle interactions without invariance under Lorentz boosts were constrained by demanding that they yield tree-level four-particle scattering amplitudes with singularities as dictated by unitarity and…
We obtain a CSW-style formalism for calculating graviton scattering amplitudes and prove its validity through the use of a special type of BCFW-like parameter shift. The procedure is illustrated with explicit examples.
The geometry of the dual amplituhedron is generally described in reference to a particular triangulation. A given triangulation manifests only certain aspects of the underlying space while obscuring others, therefore understanding this…
