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.

Leading Singularities in Higher-Derivative Yang–Mills Theory and Quadratic Gravity

Gabriel Menezes
- 10 May 2022 - 
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.
