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

TL;DR: In this paper, color-kinematics duality is used to improve powercounting in gravity theories, and it is shown that the amount of cancellations depends on the exact implementation of the duality at loop level.

Collinear splitting, parton evolution and the strange-quark asymmetry of the nucleon in NNLO QCD
TL;DR: In this paper, the collinear limit of QCD amplitudes at one-loop order, and their factorization properties directly in colour space, were considered and the effect of flavour asymmetries on the evolution of parton densities at three loops was investigated.

Form factors and correlation functions in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory from twistor space
TL;DR: The twistor formalism is extended to encompass (partially) off-shell quantities and is used to compute form factors at NMHV and higher NkMHV level in parallel to how this had been done for amplitudes previously.

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.
