This work on spin-0 amplitudes in black-hole evaporation is based on the underlying results and methods outlined in our first paper, "I. Complex Approach". The main result here, and the model calculation for work on all higher spins, as…

Bethe-Salpeter equation for the massive particles with spin 1 is considered. The scattering amplitude decomposition of the particles with spin 1 by relativistic tensors is derived. The transformation coefficients from helicity amplitudes to…
The construction of amplitudes on curved space-times is a major challenge, particularly when the background has non-constant curvature. We give formulae for all tree-level graviton scattering amplitudes in curved self-dual radiative…
By analogy with the formula for the massless string disk amplitudes, we define massive field-theory tree amplitudes and conjecture that the BRST cohomology structure of pure spinor superspace fixes their form. We give evidence by deriving…
We provide the analytic waveform in time domain for the scattering of two Kerr black holes at leading order in the post-Minkowskian expansion and up to fourth order in both spins. The result is obtained by the generalization of the KMOC…
We derive an explicit formula for the low energy limits of the one-loop, on-shell, massive N-photon amplitudes, for arbitrary N and all helicity assignments, in scalar and spinor QED. The two-loop corrections to the same amplitudes are…
The spinor-helicity representations of massive and (partially-)massless particles in four dimensional (Anti-) de Sitter spacetime are studied within the framework of the dual pair correspondence. We show that the dual groups (aka "little…
We explore the semi-classical relation between the fuzzy 4-hyperboloid $H_N^4$ and non-compact quantized twistor space $\mathbb{P}^{1,2}$ at large $N$. This provides two backgrounds $N$ of the IKKT matrix model via two natural stereographic…
We initiate a systematic study of the consequences of (super)conformal symmetry of massless scattering amplitudes. The classical symmetry is potentially broken at the quantum level by infrared and ultraviolet effects. We study its…

We construct tree-level amplitude for massive particles using on-shell recursion relations based on two classes of momentum shifts: an all-line transverse shift that deforms momentum by its transverse polarization vector, and a massive…
Ambitwistor-strings are chiral strings whose targets are spaces of complex massless particles, and whose correlation functions directly lead to simple, compact formulae for scattering amplitudes and loop integrands for massless gauge and…
