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

Multi-gluon one-loop amplitudes using tensor integrals
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient numerical algorithm to evaluate one-loop amplitudes using tensor integrals is presented, and it is shown by explicit calculations that for ordered QCD amplitudes with a number of external legs up to 10, its performance is competitive with other 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.
