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

A unitarity compatible approach to one-loop amplitudes with massive fermions
TL;DR: In this article, the spinor-helicity formalism was used to compute one-loop amplitudes with massive fermions using only on-shell information and showed that divergent wavefunction cuts can be avoided, and the remaining ambiguities in the renormalised amplitudes can be fixed.

CFT Unitarity and the AdS Cutkosky Rules
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived Cutkosky rules for conformal field theories (CFTs) at weak and strong coupling, and showed that these rules are consistent with the OPE limit and recover the S-matrix optical theorem in the flat space limit.

Effective Field Theories for the LHC
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied applications of effective field theories to understand aspects of QCD jets and their substructure at the Large Hadron Collider, and introduced an observable, $D_2, which can be used for distinguishing boosted $W/Z/H$ bosons from the QCD background using information about the radiation pattern within the jet, and performed a precision calculation of this observable.

Two-loop n-point anomalous amplitudes in N=4 supergravity
TL;DR: In this article, the anomalous two-loop four-point amplitudes in pure supergravity were computed using unitarity and double-copy construction, and all terms determined by four-dimensional cuts in the graph were determined.

Zvi Bern,David A. Kosower +1 more
TL;DR: The outline of a new and efficient technique for the calculation of loop amplitudes in a gauge theory based on the technology of four-dimensional heterotic strings is presented, which finds complete agreement with the previous Feynman-diagram calculation of Ellis and Sexton.
