We find the complete set of conditions satisfied by the forward $2\to2$ scattering amplitude in unitarity and causal theories. These are based on an infinite set of energy dependent quantities -- the arcs -- which are dispersively expressed…
A recently proposed set of sum rules, based on the pion-Kaon scattering amplitudes and their crossing-symmetric conjugates are analysed in detail. A key role is played by the $l=0$ $\pi\pi\to K\overline K$ amplitude which requires an…
The scalar-isoscalar, scalar-isotensor and vector-isovector pi-pi amplitudes have been fitted simultaneously to experimental data and to to Roy's equations. Resulting pi-pi phase shifts up to 1600 MeV and near threshold observables have…
Invariance of on-shell scattering amplitudes under field redefinitions is a well known property in field theory that corresponds to covariance of on-shell amputated connected functions. In recent years there have been great efforts to…
Making use of the analytical properties of the $S$-matrix and a theorem of Mittag-Leffler, model independent non-relativistic expressions for cross sections in single channel elastic scattering, scattering phase shifts and survival…
It is well known that the low energy expansion of tree-level superstring scattering amplitudes satisfies a suitably defined version of maximum transcendentality. In this paper it is argued that there is a natural extension of this…
I study constraints on fundamental physics emerging from consistency of a unitary, local and perturbative $S$-matrix in $4d$. For massless particles, some new constraints arising from consistent complex factorisation of $2\rightarrow 2$…
We explore the analytic structure of the three-channel $S$ matrix by generalizing uniformization and making a single-valued map for the three-channel $S$ matrix. First, by means of the inverse Jacobi's elliptic function we construct a…
In the large $N_c$ approximation to $QCD$, the leading $\pp$ scattering amplitude is expressed as the sum of an infinite number of tree diagrams. We investigate the possibility that an adequate approximation at energies up to somewhat more…
It was proposed in hep-th/0403047 that all tree amplitudes in pure Yang-Mills theory can be constructed from known MHV amplitudes. We apply this approach for calculating tree amplitudes of gauge fields and fermions and find agreement with…
We propose a new integral formula for all tree-level scattering amplitudes of N=6 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory. It resembles the Roiban-Spradlin-Volovich-Witten formula for N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory based on a twistor…
We investigate the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes in theories in which Lorentz invariance is spontaneously broken. We do so by computing and studying the S-matrix for a simple example: a superfluid described by a complex scalar…
We present a complete computation of superstring scattering amplitudes at tree level, for the case of Neveu-Schwarz insertions. Mathematically, this is to say that we determine explicitly the superstring measure on the moduli space…
Tree amplitudes of any gauge theory and gravity can be factorized into primitive three-particle amplitudes by the BCFW recursion relations. We show that the amplitudes at any perturbation order are given by tree amplitudes with additional…
Combining large $N_C$ techniques and partial wave dispersion theory to analyze the $\pi\pi$ scattering, without relying on any explicit resonance lagrangian, some interesting results are derived: (a) a general KSRF relation including the…
We give a new formalism for pure gauge-theoretic scattering at tree-amplitude level. We first describe a generalization of the Britto-Cachazo-Feng recursion relation in which a significant restriction is removed. We then use twistor…
The all--important consequence of Chiral Dynamics for $\pi \pi$ scattering is the Adler zero, which forces $\pi \pi$ amplitudes to grow asymptotically. The continuation of this subthreshold zero into the physical regions requires a…
The scattering length and effective range of the piSigma channel are studied in order to characterize the strangeness S=-1 meson-baryon scattering and the Lambda(1405) resonance. We examine various off-shell dependence of the amplitude in…
The amplitude for the singlet channels in the 4-point function of the fundamental field in the conformal field theory of the 2d $O(n)$ model is studied as a function of $n$. For a generic value of $n$, the 4-point function has infinitely…
The linear $\s$-model is used to study the effects of chiral symmetry in unitarized amplitudes incorporating scalar resonances. When just a single resonance is present, we show that the iteration of a chiral tree amplitude by means of…
