In this thesis we propose a novel method to compute higher-order corrections to physical cross sections, bypassing more traditional approaches. This technique, the Four-Dimensional Unsubtraction (FDU), is based on the Loop-Tree Duality…

The Loop-Tree Duality (LTD) is a novel perturbative method in QFT that establishes a relation between loop-level and tree-level scattering amplitudes. This is achieved by directly applying the Residue Theorem to the loop-energy-integration.…

The Loop-Tree Duality (LTD) is a novel perturbative method in QFT that establishes a relation between loop-level and tree-level amplitudes, which gives rise to the idea of treating them simultaneously in a common Monte Carlo. Initially…

We describe a new method to perform NLO calculations, combining real and virtual amplitudes at the integrand level, with a fully local compensation between them in the IR, and between the virtual integrand and properly defined counter-terms…

We develop a manifestly supersymmetric version of the generalized unitarity cut method for calculating scattering amplitudes in N=4 SYM theory. We illustrate the power of this method by computing the one-loop n-point NMHV super-amplitudes.…

Recent progress in unitarity techniques for one-loop scattering amplitudes makes a numerical implementation of this method possible. We present a 4-dimensional unitarity method for calculating the cut-constructible part of amplitudes and…

We compute four-point scattering amplitudes in $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCQCD with general external matter configurations using $\mathcal{N}=1$ superspace Feynman diagrams, at one loop in the general case and up to two loops in the fundamental…

In the past years, we have been developing a novel technique, called Four-Dimensional Unsubtraction (FDU) which aims to obtain purely four-dimensional representations of the matrix elements contributing to physical observables. In this…

We analyse the singular behaviour of one-loop integrals and scattering amplitudes in the framework of the loop--tree duality approach. We show that there is a partial cancellation of singularities at the loop integrand level among the…

This is part of a series of papers describing the new curve integral formalism for scattering amplitudes of the colored scalar tr$\phi^3$ theory. We show that the curve integral manifests a very surprising fact about these amplitudes: the…

We introduce a new technique to generate scattering amplitudes at one loop. Traditional tree algorithms, which handle diagrams with fixed momenta, are promoted to generators of loop-momentum polynomials that we call open loops. Combining…

We show how studying leading singularities of Feynman diagrams, when all momenta are complex, gives a simple way of writing multi-loop and multi-particle scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills. The simplicity of the method is…
