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

Reduction with degenerate Gram matrix for one-loop integrals
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a systematical algorithm to deal with the singularity caused by Gram determinant in one-loop integrals with auxiliary vector R. The key idea is that now the master integral of the highest topology will be decomposed into combinations of master integrals of lower topologies.

Manifest colour-kinematics duality and double-copy in the string-based formalism
TL;DR: In this article , the Bern-Dunbar-Shimada formalism for one-loop gravity amplitudes has been shown to arise naturally from the colour-dressed Yang-Mills Berends-Giele currents in Bern-Carrasco-Johansson gauge.
Perturbative Gravity and Gauge-Theory Relations
TL;DR: In this article, the Kawai-Lewellen-Tye (KLT) relations were studied in the context of string and eld theory. But their validity in the eld-theory limit is very unexpected, since they follow from monodromy relations between open-string amplitudes.

A Note on Loop Amplitudes in QED
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the two-loop four-point amplitude in N = 2 super QED and show that there exists an approximate recursive structure similar to that captured by the ABDK/BDS ansatz for MHV amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills.

On analytic properties of vertex parts in quantum field theory
TL;DR: In this paper, a general method of finding the singularities of quantum field theory values on the basis of graph techniques is described, and a graph-based approach is used to find the singularity of quantum fields.

One-loop corrections to five-gluon amplitudes.
TL;DR: This work presents the one-loop helicity amplitudes with five external gluons, a computation that employs string-based methods, new techniques for performing tensor integrals, and improvements in the spinor helicity method.

Efficient calculation of one-loop QCD amplitudes
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.
