TLDR
In this paper, the authors presented a technique which utilizes unitarity and collinear limits to construct ansatze for one-loop amplitudes in gauge theory, and proved that their $N=4$ ansatz is correct using general properties of the relevant one-loops $n$-point integrals.Abstract:
We present a technique which utilizes unitarity and collinear limits to construct ansatze for one-loop amplitudes in gauge theory. As an example, we obtain the one-loop contribution to amplitudes for $n$ gluon scattering in $N=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with the helicity configuration of the Parke-Taylor tree amplitudes. We prove that our $N=4$ ansatz is correct using general properties of the relevant one-loop $n$-point integrals. We also give the ``splitting amplitudes'' which govern the collinear behavior of one-loop helicity amplitudes in gauge theories.read more

One-loop renormalization and the S-matrix
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the existence of a hidden structure in each individual bubble coefficient which directly leads to systematic cancellations within the sum of them can be attributed to the collinear poles within a two-particle cut, and verify the generality of this statement by reproducing the correct proportionality factor from such cuts for $n$-point split-helicity amplitudes.

Colourful FKS subtraction
TL;DR: In this article, the FKS method is used for the computation of QCD cross sections at the next-to-leading order accuracy, which is achieved through the definition of subtraction terms for squared matrix elements, constructed with single colour-dressed or pairs of colour-ordered amplitudes.
