One of the methods to calculate tree-level multi-gluon scattering amplitudes is to use the Berends-Giele recursion relation involving off-shell currents or off-shell amplitudes, if working in the light cone gauge. As shown in recent works…

We elaborate on a new recursive method proposed in arXiv:2312.15484 for computing tree-level $n$-point supergluon amplitudes as well as those with one gluon, i.e., spinning amplitudes, in ${\rm AdS}_5 \times S^3$. We present an improved…
