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

Leading Singularities in Higher-Derivative Yang–Mills Theory and Quadratic Gravity
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explore general leading singularities of one-loop amplitudes in higher-derivative Yang-Mills and quadratic gravity theories, and show with explicit examples how these singularities are still well defined and accordingly they are able to capture relevant information on the analytic structure of amplitudes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the NNLO perturbative QCD corrections to Z boson production in association with hard QCD radiation are considered, both where the hard qCD radiation forms an observable jet and where no jet definition is required.

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.
