We derive new amplitudes relations revealing a hidden unity among wide-ranging theories in arbitrary spacetime dimensions. Our results rely on a set of Lorentz invariant differential operators which transmute physical tree-level scattering…
We find the complete set of conditions satisfied by the forward $2\to2$ scattering amplitude in unitarity and causal theories. These are based on an infinite set of energy dependent quantities -- the arcs -- which are dispersively expressed…
The Argand diagram is used to display some characteristics of the Riemann Zeta function. The zeros of the Zeta function on the complex plane give rise to an infinite sequence of closed loops, all passing through the origin of the diagram.…
Recently a function was constructed that satisfies all known properties of a tree-level scattering of four massless scalars via the exchange of an infinite tower of particles with masses given by the non-trivial zeroes of the Riemann zeta…
The analyticity properties of the scattering amplitude in the nonforward direction are investigated for a field theory in the manifold $\mathbb{R}^{3,1}\times S^1$. A scalar field theory of mass $m_0$ is considered in $D = 5$ Minkowski…
The Riemann hypothesis is identified with zeros of ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theory four-point amplitude. The zeros of the $\zeta(s)$ function are identified with th complex dimension of the spacetime, or the dimension of the…
One-dimensional quantum scattering from a local potential barrier is considered. Analytical properties of the scattering amplitudes have been investigated by means of the integral equations equivalent to the Schrodinger equations. The…
In any consistent massive quantum field theory there are well known bounds on scattering amplitudes at high energies. In conformal field theory there is no scattering amplitude, but the Mellin amplitude is a well defined object analogous to…
We uncover a relation between the scattering amplitudes of massive strings and the $\alpha'$ expansion of the massless string amplitude at tree level. More precisely, the n-point tree amplitude of n-1 massless and one massive state is…
Scattering amplitudes are tempered distributions, which are defined through their action on functions in the Schwartz space $S(\mathbb{R})$ by duality. For massless particles, their conformal properties become manifest when considering…
The properties of the high energy behavior of the scattering amplitude of massive, neutral and spinless particles in higher dimensional field theories are investigated. The axiomatic formulation of Lehmann, Symanzik and Zimmermann is…
We formulate Positivity Bounds for scattering amplitudes including exchange of massless particles. We generalize the standard construction through dispersion relations to include the presence of a branch cut along the real axis in the…
The analytic properties of scattering amplitudes provide important information. Besides the cuts, the poles and zeros on the different Riemann sheets determine the global behavior of the amplitude on the physical axis. Pole positions and…
We consider a massive, neutral, scalar field theory of mass $m_0$ in a five dimensional flat spacetime. Subsequently, one spatial dimension is compactified on a circle, $S^1$, ofradius $R$. The resulting theory is defined in the manifold,…
We present a numerical study of Riemann's formula for the oscillating part of the density of the primes and their powers. The formula is comprised of an infinite series of oscillatory terms, one for each zero of the zeta function on the…
Finding hidden order within disorder is a common interest in material science, wave physics, and mathematics. The Riemann hypothesis, stating the locations of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function, tentatively characterizes…
We review the structure of gauge theory scattering amplitudes at tree level and describe how a compact expression can be found which encodes all the tree-level amplitudes in the maximally supersymmetric N=4 theory. The expressions for the…
Besides the unitarity and symmetry requirements for a multi-resonance scattering amplitude, several other natural conditions can easily exclude unrealistic proposals. In particular, the behaviour of singularities under the variation of…
We propose a novel measure of chaotic scattering amplitudes. It takes the form of a log-normal distribution function for the ratios $r_n={\delta_n}/{\delta_{n+1}}$ of (consecutive) spacings $\delta_n$ between two (consecutive) peaks of the…
Following the proposal of arXiv:1312.6673, multi-particle scattering amplitudes are represented as conserved higher-spin charges. The advantage of such reformulation is that multi-particle amplitudes acquire the form of an integral of a…
