Abstract
We present the outline of a new and efficient technique for the calculation of loop amplitudes in a gauge theory. The technique is based on the technology of four-dimensional heterotic strings. We display here the application to the calculation of the one-loop corrections to gluon-gluon scattering, in ordinary dimensional regularization. We find complete agreement with the previous Feynman-diagram calculation of Ellis and Sexton.

What is the simplest quantum field theory

TL;DR: In this article, the S-matrix structure of tree amplitudes has been studied in terms of a dual formulation of QFT, and it has been shown that the amplitudes of tree theories can be determined by recursion relations.
