In a direct open string approach we analyze scattering of massless states on a stack of D3-branes. First we construct vertex operators on the D-branes. The 4+6 splitting for the fermionic part is made possible by inserting appropriately…
We emphasize that scattering amplitudes of a wide class of models to any order in the coupling are constructible by on-shell tree subamplitudes. This follows from the Feynman-tree theorem combined with BCFW on-shell recursion relations. In…
