We extend the hidden zeros and $2$-split of tree-level ${\rm Tr}(\phi^3)$ amplitudes to loop-level Feynman integrands, apart from some physically irrelevant scaleless integrals. Our method is based on a certain factorization mechanism that…
We investigate the hidden amplitude zeros discovered by Arkani-Hamed et al., which describe a non-trivial vanishing of scattering amplitudes on special external kinematics. We first prove that every type of hidden zero is equivalent to what…

A self-consistent exposition of the theory of tree-level superamplitudes of the 4d N=4 and 6d N=(1,1) maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories is provided. In 4d we work in non-chiral superspace and construct the superconformal and dual…

Planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (N=4 SYM) is a special quantum field theory. A few of its remarkable features are conformal symmetry at the quantum level, evidence of integrability and, moreover, it is a prime example of…
