چکیده

As an alternative to the usual Feynman graphs, tree amplitudes in Yang-Mills theory can be constructed from tree graphs in which the vertices are tree level MHV scattering amplitudes, continued off shell in a particular fashion. The formalism leads to new and relatively simple formulas for many amplitudes, and can be heuristically derived from

One-Loop Gauge Theory Amplitudes in N = 4 Super Yang-Mills from MHV Vertices

We propose a new, twistor string theory inspired formalism to calculate loop amplitudes in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. In this approach, maximal helicity violating (MHV) tree amplitudes of N = 4 super Yang-Mills are used as vertices, using an offshell prescription introduced by Cachazo, Svrcek and Witten, and combined into effective diagrams that incorporate large numbers of conventional Fey...

Recursion Relations for Tree Amplitudes in Super Gauge Theories

Using newly proposed recursion relations in [25, 26], compact formulas are obtained for tree-level amplitudes of g− 1 g − 2 g − 3 g + 4 g + 5 · · · g + n . We then make an extension of these recursion relations to include fermions of multi-flavors, from which MHV and MHV amplitudes are reproduced. We also calculate non-MHV amplitudes of processes with two fermions and four gluons. Results thus ...

Generating Tree Amplitudes in N = 4 SYM and N = 8 SG

We study n-point tree amplitudes of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory and N = 8 supergravity for general configurations of external particles of the two theories. We construct generating functions for n-point MHV and NMHV amplitudes with general external states. Amplitudes derived from them obey SUSY Ward identities, and the generating functions characterize and count amplitudes in the MHV and NMHV...

The Googly Amplitudes in Gauge Theory

The googly amplitudes in gauge theory are computed by using the off shell MHV vertices with the newly proposed rules of Cachazo, Svrcek and Witten. The result is in agreement with the previously well-known results. In particular we also obtain a simple result for the all negative but one positive helicity amplitude when one of the external line is off shell.

From Trees to Loops and Back

We argue that generic one-loop scattering amplitudes in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories can be computed equivalently with MHV diagrams or with Feynman diagrams. We first present a general proof of the covariance of one-loop non-MHV amplitudes obtained from MHV diagrams. This proof relies only on the local character in Minkowski space of MHV vertices and on an application of the Feynman Tree ...
