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

Optimizing the Reduction of One-Loop Amplitudes
TL;DR: In this paper, an optimization of the reduction algorithm of one-loop amplitudes in terms of master integrals is presented based on the exploitation of the polynomial structure of the integrand when evaluated at values of the loopmomentum fulfilling multiple cut-conditions, as emerged in the OPP-method.

S.-H. Henry Tye,Yang Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of the open string tree and the M-gluon tree were used to derive dual identities inside the tree, which can be carried over to loop amplitudes using the unitarity method.

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.
