It was recently discovered by Arkani-Hamed et al and Cao et al that the colour-ordered scattering amplitudes of Tr$(\Phi^3)$, the non-linear sigma model and Yang-Mills-scalar vanish at specific loci. We build on this observation and…

Attached to both Yang-Mills and General Relativity about Minkowski spacetime are distinguished gauge independent objects known as the on-shell tree scattering amplitudes. We reinterpret and rigorously construct them as $L_\infty$ minimal…

We show that the half-integrands in the CHY representation of tree amplitudes give rise to the definition of differential forms -- the scattering forms -- on the moduli space of a Riemann sphere with $n$ marked points. These differential…

We extend the recently discovered phenomenon of hidden zeros to tree amplitudes for Yang-Mills (YM) and general relativity (GR) theories with higher-derivative interactions. This includes gluon amplitudes with a single insertion of the…

An ordinary differential operator of the fourth order with coefficients converging at infinity sufficiently rapidly to constant limits is considered. Scattering theory for this operator is developed in terms of special solutions of the…

We show that tree-level form factors with length-two operators in Yang-Mills-scalar (YMS) theory exhibit structures very similar to scattering amplitudes of gluons and scalars, which leads to new relations between them. Just like…

A central problem in quantum field theory is the computation of scattering amplitudes. However, traditional methods are impractical to calculate high order phenomenologically relevant observables. Building on a few decades of astonishing…

This note addresses the problem of spurious poles in gauge-theoretic scattering amplitudes. New twistor coordinates for the momenta are introduced, based on the concept of dual conformal invariance. The cancellation of spurious poles for a…

In addition to the superconformal symmetry of the underlying Lagrangian, the scattering amplitudes in planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory exhibit a new, dual superconformal symmetry. We address the question of how powerful these symmetries…

We consider a second order difference equation with operator-valued coefficients. More precisely, we study either compact or trace class perturbations of the discrete Laplacian in the Hilbert space of bi-infinite square-summable sequence…

We develop direct and inverse scattering theory for Jacobi operators (doubly infinite second order difference operators) with steplike coefficients which are asymptotically close to different finite-gap quasi-periodic coefficients on…

We analyse the singular behaviour of one-loop integrals and scattering amplitudes in the framework of the loop--tree duality approach. We show that there is a partial cancellation of singularities at the loop integrand level among the…

We investigate a suppression mechanism of dark matter and quark scattering amplitudes in a complex singlet extension of the Standard Model. It has been pointed out that, in a some variant of the model, the scattering amplitudes cancel each…

First, we consider generalized wave and scattering operators and derive modifications of commutation relations (between scattering operators and unperturbed operators) when the corresponding deviation factors behave as $\exp\{i t {\mathcal…

We investigate the Yangian symmetry of scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory and show that its formulations in twistor and momentum twistor space can be interchanged. In particular we show that the full symmetry can be…

We review recent progress in the understanding of symmetries for scattering amplitudes in N=4 superconformal Yang-Mills theory. It is summarized how the superficial breaking of superconformal symmetry by collinear anomalies and the…

We derive new amplitudes relations revealing a hidden unity among wide-ranging theories in arbitrary spacetime dimensions. Our results rely on a set of Lorentz invariant differential operators which transmute physical tree-level scattering…

Scattering equations for tree-level amplitudes are viewed in the context of string theory. As a result of the comparison we are led to define a new dual model which coincides with string theory in both the small and large $\alpha'$ limit,…

We propose a dual formulation for the S Matrix of N = 4 SYM. The dual provides a basis for the "leading singularities" of scattering amplitudes to all orders in perturbation theory, which are sharply defined, IR safe data that uniquely…

Dual superconformal invariance has recently emerged as a hidden symmetry of planar scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. This symmetry can be made manifest by expressing amplitudes in terms of `momentum twistors', as opposed…
