چکیده

Next-to-MHV one-loop amplitudes in N = 4 gauge theory can be written as a linear combination of known multivalued functions, called scalar box functions, with coefficients that are rational functions. We consider the localization of these coefficients in twistor space and prove that all of them are localized on a plane. The proof is done by studying the action of differential operators that test coplanarity on the unitarity cuts of the amplitudes.

Six - Point One - Loop N = 8 Supergravity NMHV Amplitudes and their IR behaviour

We present compact formulas for the box coefficients of the six-point NMHV one-loop amplitudes in N = 8 supergravity. We explicitly demonstrate that the corresponding box integral functions, with these coefficients, have the complete IR singularities expected of the one-loop amplitude. This is strong evidence for the conjecture that N = 8 one-loop amplitudes may be expressed in terms of scalar ...

A Note on Loop Amplitudes in QED

We consider the two-loop four-point amplitude in N = 2 super QED, and show that there exists an approximate recursive structure similar to that captured by the ABDK/BDS ansatz for MHV amplitudes in N = 4 super Yang-Mills. Furthermore, we present a simple relation between the box coefficients of one-loop photon MHV amplitudes in (super) QED, and sums of box coefficients of one-loop MHV amplitude...

Integral Coefficients for One-Loop Amplitudes

We present a set of algebraic functions for evaluating the coefficients of the scalar integral basis of a general one-loop amplitude. The functions are derived from unitarity cuts, but the complete cut-integral procedure has been carried out in generality so that it never needs to be repeated. Where the master integrals are known explicitly, the results here can be used as a black box with tree...

One - Loop Gluon Scattering Amplitudes in Theories with N < 4 Supersymmetries

Generalised unitarity techniques are used to calculate the coefficients of box and triangle integral functions of one-loop gluon scattering amplitudes in gauge theories with N < 4 supersymmetries. We show that the box coefficients in N = 1 and N = 0 theories inherit the same coplanar and collinear constraints as the corresponding N = 4 coefficients. We use triple cuts to determine the coefficie...
