Exploiting Twistor Techniques for One-loop QCD Amplitudes
Recently, a “weak-weak” duality between massless gauge theory and a topological string theory propagating in twistor space has been proposed in ref. [1]. This duality implies surprising structure within the S-matrix of gauge theories. In supersymmetric theories this has been exploited to facilitate considerable progress in computing scattering amplitudes. The application of these ideas to QCD h...
متن کاملQCD at the Dawn of the LHC Era
Precision computations of QCD and QCD+electroweak emission scattering processes will play an important role in understanding experimental data from the LHC, and thereby in uncovering new physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent years have seen substantial progress in expanding our ability to perform and implement such calculations. I discuss several different topics: the resolution of seeming ...
متن کاملHeterotic Twistor-String Theory
We reformulate twistor-string theory as a heterotic string based on a twisted (0,2) model. The path integral localizes on holomorphic maps, while the (0,2) moduli naturally correspond to the states of N = 4 super Yang-Mills and conformal supergravity under the Penrose transform. We show how the standard twistor-string formulae of scattering amplitudes as integrals over the space of curves in su...
متن کاملConformal Supergravity in Twistor-string Theory
Conformal supergravity arises in presently known formulations of twistor-string theory either via closed strings or via gauge-singlet open strings. We explore this sector of twistor-string theory, relating the relevant string modes to the particles and fields of conformal supergravity. We use the twistor-string theory to compute some tree level scattering amplitudes with supergravitons. Since t...
متن کاملLectures on Twistor Strings and Perturbative Yang-Mills Theory
Recently, Witten proposed a topological string theory in twistor space that is dual to a weakly coupled gauge theory. In this lectures we will discuss aspects of the twistor string theory. Along the way we will learn new things about Yang-Mills scattering amplitudes. The string theory sheds light on Yang-Mills perturbation theory and leads to new methods for computing Yang-Mills scattering ampl...
