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

Decomposition of triple collinear splitting functions
TL;DR: In the kinematic region where three particles $i, $j, $k$ are collinear, the multi-parton scattering amplitudes factorise into a product of a triplecollinear splitting function and a multinon scattering amplitude with two fewer particles as discussed by the authors .

On-shell methods for perturbative QCD
TL;DR: In this paper, on-shell techniques for the calculation of color ordered helicity amplitudes in QCD are presented. But the complexity of the recursion relations is not discussed, and it is not shown that these methods generate simpler analytic expressions than off-shell methods.

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.
