It is argued that the amplitudes of the production of $n$ soft scalar particles by one or a few energetic ones in theories like $\lambda\phi^4$ has the exponential form, $A_n\propto\sqrt{n!}\exp[{1\over\lambda}F(\lambda n,\epsilon)]$, in…
It has been shown recently that the amplitude of the creation of $n$ real scalar particles by one virtual boson near $n$--particle threshold exhibits exponential behavior at $n\sim1/\lambda$. We extend this result to the processes of…
Following an argument advanced by Feynman, we consider a method for obtaining the effective action which generates the sum of tree diagrams with external physical particles. This technique is applied, in the unbroken \lambda \phi^4 theory,…
At sufficiently high energies the production of a very large number of particles is kinematically allowed. However, it is well-known that already in the simplest case of a weakly-coupled massive $\lambda \varphi^4$ theory, $n$-particle…
Threshold amplitudes are considered for multi-particle production in $\phi^k$ and $O(N) ~\phi^4$ theories. It is found that the disappearance of tree-level threshold amplitudes of $2$ on-shell particles producing a large number of particles…
We present exact tree-order amplitudes for $H^* \to n~H$, for final states containing one or two particles with non-zero three-momentum, for various interaction potentials. We show that there are potentials leading to tree amplitudes that…
Tree amplitudes of the production of two kinds of scalar particles at threshold from one virtual particle are calculated in a model of two scalar fields with $O(2)$ symmetric quartic interaction and unequal masses. These amplitudes exhibit…
Calculations of $1\to N$ amplitudes in scalar field theories at very high multiplicities exhibit an extremely rapid growth with the number $N$ of final state particles. This either indicates an end of perturbative behaviour, or possibly…
I review some recent work on the problem of multiparticle production in a phi^4-theory with an O(N) symmetry. Threshold amplitudes with fixed number of produced particles are exactly calculated at large-N to all loops and vanish on mass…
The tree amplitudes in scalar field theories are presented at all $n$. The momentum routing of propagators is given at $n$-point in terms of a specified set of numbers, and the mass expansion of the massive theories is generated. A group…
We consider the problem of multiparticle production at threshold in a $\phi^4$-theory with an $O(N_1$$+$$N_2)$ symmetry softly broken down to $O(N_1)\times O(N_2)$ by nonequal masses. We derive the set of recurrence relations between the…
The method suggested by Lowell Brown for calculating multi-particle threshold amplitudes is extended to the one-loop level in scalar theories with broken reflection symmetry. A result for the threshold amplitude for multiparticle production…
We consider a procedure for directly constructing general tree-level four-particle scattering amplitudes of massive spinning particles that are consistent with the usual requirements of Lorentz invariance, unitarity, crossing symmetry, and…
A method for calculating loop amplitudes at the multiboson threshold is presented, based on Feynman-diagram techniques. We explicitly calculate the one-loop amplitudes in both $\phi^4$-symmetric and broken symmetry cases, using dimensional…
It is shown that in a $\lambda \phi^4$ theory of one real scalar field with spontaneous breaking of symmetry a calculation of the amplitudes of production by a virtual field $\phi$ of $n$ on-mass-shell bosons all being exactly at rest is…
The threshold behavior of a theory with two coupled scalar fields $\chi$ and $\phi$ is investigated. We compute the amplitude for two on-mass-shell $\chi$-particles to produce an arbitrary number of $\phi$-particles at rest in the tree…
Calculations of high-energy processes involving the production of a large number of particles in weakly-coupled quantum field theories have previously signaled the need for novel non-perturbative behavior or even new physical phenomena. In…
Amplitudes $A_n$ in $d$-dimensional scalar field theory are generated, to all orders in the coupling constant and at $n$-point. The amplitudes are expressed as a series in the mass $m$ and coupling $\lambda$. The inputs are the classical…
We discuss the threshold tree amplitudes in diverse nonintegrable quantum field theories in the framework of integrability. The amplitudes are related to some Baker functions defined on the auxiliary spectral curves and the nullification…
We present an amplitude-generating formula in renormalizable quantum field theory. It reflects the self-similarity of loop amplitudes, in which an amplitude can also be a subamplitude of another. Amplitudes are generated by a small number…
